I'd like to suggest @lmullen as a potential reviewer

Sorry, I'm not available to review at this time.

👋 @mgymrek - would you be able to edit this submission for JOSS?

@scan2001 : I had a quick look at your paper, and we are lacking a Statement of Need. That is, we require a paragraph that explains to a technical non-expert what is the research application of the software, and provides an example of how it is being used in research.

The Statement of Need will be requested by reviewers, but if you provide it now, it will facilitate assigning a handling editor and identifying good reviewers for your software.
