What Hacker News says?
Yeah, igraph's visualizations aren't perfect. I've explored using d3 a bit in some of my other work (e.g. http://markallenthornton.com/blog/price-of-flavor/ ). It's great for interactive graphs, but it starts to tax the browser pretty heavily for larger ones (though perhaps that's just my poor coding). Thanks for the visNetwork suggestion - I'll have to check that out!
