It requires close contact with LBRY, and as such mandates the use of a [[lbrynet]] node. It periodically spiders LBRY in search of new channels it infers to be related to GunCAD ("authors") and the designs they produce ("releases") via a number of heuristics. | It requires close contact with LBRY, and as such mandates the use of a [[lbrynet]] node.
