From this thread. I think there's a lot of potential in jazzing up StoryMaps using images/infographics - these not only make the products more interesting to the viewer and can help explain complicated topics, but are also a way to overcome some of the limited formatting options offered in the newest builder. However, a problem inherent in relying on images that contain text is that the text is not accessible (you can't select it, copy it, search for it, and it cannot be read by screen readers) and sometimes the images are not crisp, which places some burden on the viewer trying to view the image.
I know that we are able to upload SVGs as an image type, but the current method removes a lot of the functionality inherent in the SVG format (scalability, accessible text). I'm wondering if it would be feasible to allow alternative methods for uploading and working with interactive/scalable SVGs directly into the StoryMap builder? Perhaps using a method that shows a PNG fallback if the viewer is using an unsupported browser.
Thanks for reading/considering this!
