Hi @yoelcortes, thanks for your submission to JOSS! We'll use this issue to identify reviewers and resolve any technical issues (like our friendly bot not being able to find the paper).

I will be serving as editor for this; I have a few potential reviewers in mind, but any suggestions you have are also welcome.

[kyleniemeyer]

@whedon assign @kyleniemeyer as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @kyleniemeyer

[kyleniemeyer]

Hey @bryanwweber @decaluwe would one of you be interested in reviewing this for JOSS?

@kyleniemeyer, thanks for picking this up as the editor. I think both potential reviewers are excellent choices. They both have some chemistry and engineering in their background. Let me know if there is anything I can help with. Thanks!

[decaluwe]

Happy to!

:wave: @kyleniemeyer - it looks like this submission is still waiting on you to find a second reviewer before moving forward?

[kyleniemeyer]

Hi @arosen93, would you be interested in reviewing this submission? Thanks!

[arosen93]

@kyleniemeyer -- thanks for reaching out. Seems like a cool package and normally would be up my alley to review, but unfortunately I don't have the time to provide a thorough review right now.

[kyleniemeyer]

Hi @fwitte, would you be interested in reviewing this submission for JOSS? Thank you!

[yoelcortes]

@kyleniemeyer, thanks for managing the requests to review. Would reaching out to another reviewer soon be a good idea? Thanks!

[fwitte]

Hi @kyleniemeyer,
the notification only arrived just now. I'll quickly check, if this fits my scope and give you a feedback as soon as possible.
Best regards
Edit: Actually it was the notification of yoelcortes latest comment, any idea, why yours did not reach? Notification on mention is turned on...

[fwitte]

Hi @kyleniemeyer,
I would be happy to review the paper.

[kyleniemeyer]

OK, with two reviewers set, I will now start the review issue.
