title: How to use flutter hot reload in console?
body: <p>I want to develop android apps with flutter without using Android Studio or some other IDE. I'm currently installing everything on my arch based linux distribution. Everything works fine for me except for the hot reload feature. When I do <code>flutter run</code> (or even <code>flutter run --hot</code>), the command execution gets stuck at the following point:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-sh prettyprint-override"><code>$ flutter run --hot                                                                                                                                      ✔  926  10:53:42
