👋 @JoWestermann - thanks for your submission.

I see two issues:

1. Due to the relatively small amount of code, the editors will now discuss if it meets the substantial scholarly effort criterion for review by JOSS. You should hear back in a week or two.
2. If this does go ahead, you will need to reduce the length of the paper. JOSS's guidelines are 250-1000 words, while your paper is about 1750. In case this doesn't pass our scope review, I don't think you should start reducing the paper yet.

[JoWestermann]

Dear @danielskatz, thank you for your this first feedback. In case this might tip the scale in terms of lines of code, we do have several additional features sketched out or in the works that would expand the code base further, and which we could add over the course of a few weeks.
We’re looking forward to hearing back from you and the editors.

[danielskatz]

@JoWestermann - I'll pause this for now. Let me know when there is more code/features, and also please do reduce the paper length
