+# A Great Week for LBRY's Public Beta
+
+## Watch Us Program Live!
+
+To show just how easy it is to use the LBRY API, we're hosting a live coding and Q&A session.
+
+On March 29th, from 6-9PM EST (or later), you'll be able to heckle and watch LBRY devs build an image sharing site from scratch to (hopefully!) completion.
+
+During the stream, members of the LBRY development team will be in our [chatroom](https://slack.lbry.io) answering questions and discussing LBRY.
+
+This post will be updated with the streaming link before the event.
+
+If you want a reminder, make sure to [join our Slack](https://slack.lbry.io) or [complete the quickstart guide](https://lbry.io/quickstart).
+
+## Trending on GitHub
+
+Last week, LBRY opened up its API to anyone with a GitHub account, to a fantastic reception.

+
+LBRY has been a trending repo on GitHub for almost a full week. Nearly 2,000 developers are now following the LBRY project.
+
+Anyone with a GitHub account can immediately try out the LBRY API and by using our [quickstart guide](https://lbry.io/quickstart).
+
+Additionally, we've created a new resource page [documenting the LBRY API](https://lbryio.github.io/lbry/).
+
+## Major Press Coverage
+
+LBRY's GitHub beta came just in time for LBRY to be able to publish 20,000 college lectures that were on the verge of disappearing.
+
+This got LBRY some positive press, including:
