Project description:
"I need a lightweight desktop application that lets a user pick a local video file and upload it to a server (the backend endpoint is already in place). The target environment is Linux Mint, so please make sure any dependencies you introduce are easily satisfiable through the Mint/Ubuntu package ecosystem.

What i am after is, on the touch screen monitor, it shows take video button, i then press start and it does a small 3second timer, then starts to take the video for a set time i put in config, like 10 seconds.
This then saves on the device, and instantly creates a qr code where i can scan and it auto downloads that video to my phone.
I want to be able to put a water mark on the photos of a logo, and possible if in a folder on the machine i put in a [login to view URL] so it adds that to the images too,
This will be ongoing with more addons and features after this basic part has been done.


I would like a clean graphical interface—nothing fancy, just a window with a “Select File” button, a progress bar, and basic status messages (success, failure, percent complete). The upload itself can be handled over HTTPS with the usual POST/PUT technique; you can rely on curl, Python requests, libcurl, or a similar well-maintained library, as long as it is clearly documented in your hand-off notes.

Deliverables
• Source code and a compiled executable that runs on the current Linux Mint LTS release
• A short README explaining build steps, runtime dependencies, and how to point the app at a different endpoint if needed
• A brief note on how you handled large-file resilience (e.g., chunking or simple retry) if the implementation includes it

Please keep the overall footprint small and avoid heavyweight frameworks unless absolutely necessary. Let me know which language and toolkit you prefer (GTK, Qt, Electron, etc.) when you bid—fast startup and low resource usage will be a strong plus." (client-provided description)
