I'd like to suggest adding support for clicking and tapping for navigation. Having to drag feels unintuitive.

Thank you for the comment. I would not have understood "can be navigated using mouse" to mean "dragging".

Also I hate that I can't select text on this. Probably because "dragging".

Exactly, clicking should be the default so the drag handler doesn't prevent users from highlighting text - I literally cannot read anymore without frantically double-clicking/dragging on the words in the text

I think it would be pretty nice to be able to use the keyboard to navigate the UI (left/right arrow keys to "orbit the content", up/down to "zoom").

Using a pointer, I'd prefer to just be able to click on the oval to zoom into, maybe double-click to zoom back out a level, use the back button to go to the place I came from.
