@editorialbot query scope

👋 @FlyingWorkshop — Thanks for your submission! Given the small size of this code base, I have submitted this pre-review for editorial review with respect to the substantial scholarly effort. This usually takes a week or two and I'll report back here as soon as I hear back from the rest of the editorial board.

@editorialbot reject

👋 @FlyingWorkshop — Thank you for submitting your software to JOSS. At this time, I unfortunately have to reject your submission.

The editors have decided that given 1) the small codebase size and 2) the shorter commit history lifespan your submission fails to meet the substantial scholarly effort requirements for publication in JOSS.

We wish you the best in your research!
