Not sure about circles as sole UI primitives, but this is a great start that could grow to support rectilinear views as well.

The big thing I would take a look at is the animation: Ease-in with a hard stop is not a pleasant motion for a zooming UI. I'd try an ease-in-out, and see if you can synchronize the scaling and the positioning so the new circle smoothly zooms into place rather than zooming offscreen and jumping into the center at the end of the animation.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your suggestion! Surely the eases could be improved, maybe the best is to allow to the developers to define their own ease and timing according the use.

Certainly allow it, but provide a sane default, too. If you don't, people wiill be more likely to do something stupid than they would be otherwise.

Thank you for your suggestion about using ease-in-out. I'm playing with that and it is more pleasant.
