I know the labels are small, I'll think about how to make them bigger (not as easy as it sounds since it has an impact on the overall visualization) or provide a way to zoom in as you suggest. I have to admit the d3js part is not my specialty (I simply adapted existing visualizations), so if someone can give an advice on how to do that, he's welcome !
