Part of JOSS review:

The current description of the project is this:

This repository stores codes to help modeling exoplanetary transits and eclipsing binaries.

This could be both more explicit and more appealing, perhaps something like

ExoTETHyS is an open-source package for modeling expolanetary transits and eclipsing binaries.    It provides pure-pythonic interfaces to the popular(?) `sail` and `trip` algorithms, along with a host of new improvements.

What about ExoTETHyS is an open-source package for modeling exoplanetary transits, eclipsing binaries and related phenomena.

For example, just computing the limb-darkening coefficients is not "modeling a transit", but it is something needed to do that.

That sounds great.

Done, thanks.
