@rampatels I'm sorry for the confusion. In the previous submission pre-review issue for this package, I was not asking you to justify reviewing this submission despite its very small number of lines of code. I was trying to check to make sure I wasn't missing something because it is unusually small. To estimate the number of lines of code, I am looking in this case at the line

MATLAB                          11            157            387            424

I have now had the chance to look at the details and I see that, yes, it is indeed quite small. I see that you have added a matlab file to the tutorials since your previous submission, but this does not "count" as additional content and I will defer to the previous submission's count in this case, which was:

MATLAB                           9             64            209            197

This is under the number of lines of code for desk reject (<300 LOC). I'm sorry, this is just too small of an effort to be published as a paper through JOSS. Please note that there are other ways to publish your code; check here for more info: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#other-venues-for-reviewing-and-publishing-software-packages
