@Jashcraf — Thanks for your submission! All the suitable JOSS editors are currently working at capacity so I'm going to "waitlist" this review until an editor with the relevant expertise is available to take it on. Thanks for your patience!

In the meantime, there's some initial work to do on the repository:

1. Please add a license.
2. You should clean up all the temporary files. Things like .DS_Store, .ipynb_checkpoints, *.egg-info, docs/_build, and __pycache__ shouldn't be checked into a repo. You can use a .gitignore to help with that.

Thanks!

[Jashcraf]

Hi @dfm, thanks for getting us on the waitlist! I'll make the requested changes - can't believe I forgot a license, my apologies!

[dfm]

@editorialbot assign me as editor

@Jashcraf — Thanks for your patience! I'm now available to start editing your submission. I'll start reaching out to reviewers in the coming days, and then, once we have two reviewers, we will start the main review in a new thread. Let me know if you have any questions as we go.

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @dfm is now the editor

[Jashcraf]

@dfm awesome glad to hear it - thank you very much!
