JOSS nitpicks

[mdavezac]

In the context of openjournals/joss-reviews#7134:

• It would be good to mention the targeted platforms, e.g. Windows/Linux/MacOS machine, and that GPU and MPI platforms are not targeted.
• For the sake of less experienced pythonistas, the tutorial might include a statement about having to do pip install matplotlib
• perhaps mention that plt.show() is sometimes necessary to actually show the plots, depending on the context (e.g. okay in Jupyter, but less so when copy-pasting each tut to a file).

Thanks for your input!

• It would be good to mention the targeted platforms, e.g. Windows/Linux/MacOS machine, and that GPU and MPI platforms are not targeted.

Good point, this is now added near the top of the README on the main branch. (I also added to the README that there is some optional CUDA support on the development branch.)

• For the sake of less experienced pythonistas, the tutorial might include a statement about having to do pip install matplotlib

Good catch! I used to have matplotlib as a dependency of the project, but recently removed this to slim down the package. The docs still use matplotlib so it's good to mention explicitly.

I have added a note about this under "Getting started" in the tutorial.

• perhaps mention that plt.show() is sometimes necessary to actually show the plots, depending on the context (e.g. okay in Jupyter, but less so when copy-pasting each tut to a file).

Also a good point. I've added a statement about this as well at the same location as above.
