Hi @francescat93! Thank you for your submission. I have some questions that are based on our submission requirements and what your paper should contain.

1. Typically acceptable submissions have at least 1000 lines of code, though this is not always the case. However, given that this submission has less than 1000 lines of code, we would like more information before proceeding. Thinking of the following submission requirement in particular, can you explain why this submission doesn't fit into this category?

   Minor ‘utility’ packages, including ‘thin’ API clients, and single-function packages are not acceptable.

2. Can you explain a statement of need for the work? This should be the first part of your paper.

We have a lot of submissions that have come in since we re-opened, and given the questions I have, I'm going to mark this as paused for now. (This is internal bookkeeping for us)

@francescat93 - many thanks for your submission to JOSS. After consulting with the JOSS editorial team, we have deemed that this submission is out of scope and does not meet our submission requirements. Specifically, while this package looks useful, it fails into out 'minor utility' category.

Thanks again for your interest in JOSS.
