In Ask HN: Would issue “bounties” make contributing to open source more appealing?All of the code is here https://github.com/lbryio
The blockchain is C++ (bitcoin fork)
The SDK is python
The apps are JS (desktop/lbry.tv/odysee.com), and java/swift for mobile apps.
The disk space issue is definitely something that has been talked about for a while. https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-sdk/issues/1311. As the lead maintainer of https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop, it's the last issue I'm waiting on before the 1.0 release!

In The PeerTube content bootstrap fundWe employ about 20 people full time - check out our team page at https://lbry.io/team. There are a few folks not listed there, we'll be updating that soon.
We aren't all part of the PR team, we have various roles across the company like CEO, CTO, developers, engineers, and quality assurance
