We started the Solidity implementation of the Livepeer protocol. [Yondon Fu] ([https://github.com/yondonfu](https://github.com/yondonfu)), who most recently worked on the [OpenCollab] ([https://github.com/yondonfu/opencollab](https://github.com/yondonfu/opencollab)) extension of Mango, is making good progress and we will have more to share very soon. Visit our [gitter](https://gitter.im/livepeer) if you want to follow along with the development.

We also open sourced the [Livepeer desktop app](https://github.com/livepeer/LivepeerDesktop) this week. The app automatically connects to the [Livepeer toynet](https://github.com/livepeer/wiki/wiki/Toynet). It allows anyone to broadcast a video stream, or view a publicly available stream with a known ID. If you are an Mac user, download it following the link in the Github page. If you are a developer and want to build it for Linux / Windows, the app is built in Electron, so feel free to build for another platform and submit a PR!
