All of our code is open source and available on [GitHub](https://github.com/lbryio). Are you a dev and want to find out more? Check out our [general contributing guide](https://lbry.io/faq/contributing) and our LBRY App specific contributing [document](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). Please be patient with us while we improve our technical documentation. Our plan is to create a technical reference site which will be developer focused at https://lbry.tech (not live yet!) which will also include a StackExchange like forum for Q&A/troubleshooting in the future.

### App and Protocol Summary
|
||||
We know it's been a long wait, but we're very happy with our latest app release. And the wait will be worth it when you experience the improved LBRY daemon - it's the first major protocol update since last November, and it's a big step in the right direction. You can read about specific enhancements in the changelogs ([0.19.0](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/releases/tag/v0.19.0) and [0.19.1](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/releases/tag/v0.19.1)) but in general we’ve noticed improvements in network availability and streaming speed (time from when play is clicked to when the download starts).

### Search Updates {#search-updates}

This month saw vast improvements to the search capabilities, including faster response, more relevant content, and channels now appearing properly in search results. Additionally, all claims for a search term appear in the results as opposed to only the winning claim.

### Youtube Sync Update {#youtube-updates}

LBRY has [re-launched their YouTube Sync](https://lbry.io/youtube) campaign under a new design, process and Rewards system that allows YouTubers who meet our subscriber requirements to sync their content to LBRY within a few clicks. Once the creator is queued, they can claim their sync Reward in the LBRY app by signing in with the same email as their sync status page. The program launched as a pilot with our internal Discord community/targeted YouTubers and will continue expanding to a full fledged outreach on Social media and other direct targeting. The LBC rewards mentioned below are a first trial run and may increase depending on feedback.

|
||||
The most common issue creators run into, especially those who have used the LBRY app prior to going through the sync process, is that their YouTube channel email is mismatched with the LBRY app email. This will require a manual fix my emailing [our Helpdesk](mailto:help@lbry.io) at the moment, but we hope to straighten this out automatically in the coming weeks. Having trouble or want to find out more? First make sure to check out our [FAQ page](https://lbry.io/faq/youtube) or you can email [Reilly](mailto:reilly@lbry.io) with any specific sync questions that aren’t covered.

Initial legwork has begun on our developer/tech resource, lbry.tech. We don’t currently have an ETA on the launch, but it will be launched as an early alpha version that includes an alpha draft of the LBRY white paper, all of which will be polished over time as we get feedback from the community.

### Discord Role Self Assignment and New Member Flow
|
||||
With our Discord community growing and in order to improve the experience for new members, we will be implementing a better system that will allow users to self assign roles based on their activity, purpose and interests. It will also allow more granular controls over which roles have access to particular channels/areas, which will also hopefully improve the overall user experience.

In order to improve the experience for new and existing members of our Discord community, we will be implementing a better system that will allow users to self assign roles based on their activity, purpose and interests. It will also allow more granular controls over which roles have access to particular channels/areas, which will also hopefully improve the overall user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, a new user will join with access to the #general, #help and #verification channels so they have a much simpler initial experience in the chat room. They will also be welcomed with a message that describes various roles on the server and what channels they give access to. When a user is ready to venture out, they will use our Discord bot to self assign the role which will grant them channel access - i.e. a user interested in mining will ask for the miner role or one looking to discuss the LBRY price will ask for the Market-Talk role.
|
||||
|
||||
This will also give us the ability to better identify and communicate with groups of users on a particular topic - now we can go into the mining channel and do an @here announcement which will only be sent to users in that channel, whereas right now that includes everyone on the server!

LBRY is looking for users or communities that are interested in hosting a spee.ch like website or even a web portal into their own LBRY content (think of this as your own local YouTube page!). We would be more than happy to walk you through the process which would include customization and tweaking it to your liking! Does this sound interesting to you or maybe someone you know? Sign up on or share our [speech admin mailing list](https://lbry.io/speech-admin) to be notified when LBRY will host a Google Play demo session of getting a server setup.

We will give Mr. Arthur a few days to respond and then try reaching out a 2nd time and final time. If we don’t hear back, we’ll move onto the 2nd most voted channel which is [VetRanch](https://www.youtube.com/user/VetRanch).

These posts will give more insight into some of the great minds on staff at LBRY and help us to reach out to more technical audiences. We’ve also got everything we need to turn the LBRY office into a pretty fantastic film studio, so stay tuned for video development updates!
