Just wanted to +1 this. Reusing existing IIIF resources would be easier for many users than creating new tiles for "gigapixel" images. And libraries and museums would appreciate another venue to showcase their IIIF compliant materials.
This Leaflet-IIIF plugin (also on npm) might make this easier than I'd have guessed.
If we are able to update StoryMapJS to support modern javascript bundling, as we did to TimelineJS this summer, this would probably be fairly straightforward. Until then, it would be hairy.
Examples on the Leaflet-IIIF page should provide something we could use as a starting point for testing without having to create new IIIF images ourselves.
Plenty of other IIIF manifests here as well (click the blue + to add a new resource; manifest URLs in the info modal for each panel). If you have questions, Jack, the Leaflet-IIIF author, is active on the IIIF Slack group and I'm sure there are plenty of people in that community who would be excited to see this happen as well.
Would the StoryMapJS team be open to a pull request that added support for IIIF content?
