Replace our file uploader with Uppy
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Nope.
What is the feature?
Investigate whether Uppy is appropriate to replace our current file uploader.

Yeah, I've been keeping my eye on that project for a while now. And doesn't require jQuery which is good for us going forward (I'd like to reduce jQuery reliance over time).
I like the sound of that. Good ethos, good feature set without trying to cram too much in. I think it's a good fit.
Check out this one too (seems to be lighter): https://github.com/pqina/filepond
The main reason for using a third-party file uploader was a demand to bypass the server max upload size limitations. This is usually done via chunked uploads, so any challenger should be able to manage it. From a quick look it seems that Uppy can do it, but Filepond can not atm (planned). Just my 2 kopecks.
Ooh, Uppy has a (beta) image editor: https://uppy.io/docs/image-editor/
Nice, but I'd prefer to lean on server-side image manipulation rather than edit images at upload stage - it's just more flexible and (potentially) non-destructive. I still think Uppy can be a contender for initial file uploading though.

Uppy uses its own non-standard protocol for chunked files upload, which makes me think twice.
