Description

Larger image can take longer period of upload time and so user has to wait for the completion. Let's brainstorm here, how the upload speed can be improved.

Ideas: Showing progress bar to decrease user anxiety.

Relevant issue: https://github.com/publiclab/mapknitter/issues/203

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current image upload implementation in the Mapknitter codebase to understand the bottlenecks. Look for any existing progress indicators or upload libraries. Consider using a client side progress bar with JavaScript and server side chunked uploads. Also review the linked issue #203 for additional context.
