Draft: Spike share visualizations using screenshots

Jiaan Louw requested to merge jlouw-spike-viz-screenshot into master

What does this MR do and why?

This is a spike to investigate sharing visualizations using html2canvas.

DO NOT MERGE!

Findings:

  • 📷 Users can take screenshots using a library, html2canvas.
  • ⬆ Users can upload the screenshot using our API /uploads endpoint.
  • ⬇ Users can delete an uploaded file, however this is is a mostly manual process which users will have to manage themselves. Automating it would require storing a list of uploaded (analytics) screenshots in our backend so that maintainers+ can manage the uploads.
