# 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.
|
|
|
|
**You can watch the stream [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9LCapt_OYw).**
|
|
|
|
During the stream, members of the LBRY development team will be in our [chatroom](https://chat.lbry.com) answering questions and discussing LBRY.
|
|
|
|
If you want a reminder, make sure to [join our Discord chat](https://chat.lbry.com) or [complete the quickstart guide](https://lbry.tech/playground).

## 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.tech/playground).
|
|
|
|
Additionally, we've created a new resource page [LBRY SDK documentation](https://lbry.tech/api/sdk).
|
|
|
|
## 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:
