Based on a comment buried in the source, this library seems to be heavily based on work by Kai Chang:

It’s a shame Kai isn’t created in the README, LICENSE, or announcement.

And Kai credits previous work from Jason Davies[0] and Mike Bostock[1]. Mike Bostock is the creator of D3.js and ObservableHQ.

Edit: Just saw your name. Holy shit, it's Mike Bostock.

On a side tangent, I find it crazy that the New York Times for a long period had yourself, Jeremy Ashkenas, and Rich Harris all on staff. What an all-star team.

You may already be aware of this, in which case I apologize for stating the obvious, but Mr. Bostock actually authored the comment you replied to. :o)
I about jumped out of my chair when I saw the username after posting
Jeremy’s here at Observable, too!
Huge fan of you both. Best wishes, and I get to go home today and tell the missus I engaged in unknowing dialogue with Mike Bostock, about Mike Bostock.
Mike Bostock (mbostock in this thread), D3.js is awesome!
Thanks for the feedback, we'll fix this.
Parallel coordinates as known in d3 world and pointed out by Bostock! :)
