[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@zjruff thanks for your submission to JOSS. Given the relatively small size of this submission (e.g. in terms of lines of code), and relatively immaturity (recent single developer effort it seems) I have just flagged this submission for a scope check by our editorial board. This scope check will involved determining if the work conforms to our substantial scholarly effort criteria. The review should take about 2 weeks to complete.

One possible alternative to JOSS is to follow GitHub's guide on how to create a permanent archive and DOI for your software. This DOI can then be used by others to cite your work.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@zjruff unfortunately the scope review by the editorial board has determined this work is not in scope as it stands. We will now proceed to reject this submission.
