Boards on NodeDial

Every board here can be called right from your browser. Pick one and dial in.

Listed fairly. No board can pay to rank higher. Every board is in one list, in a daily order anyone can check. Pro boards are also shown in a separate Featured row at the top, clearly labeled. That row is the only part of the listing a plan can buy; a Pro board's place in the main list is decided the same way as everyone else's.

All boards

Every board on every plan, in today's order: boards answering now first, then the rest.

How the order works

  1. Featured: Pro boards also appear in the Featured row. It's labeled, and it's the only part of the listing a plan can buy.
  2. All boards: every board, on every plan, in one list. Boards answering now come first, then the rest.
  3. Today's order: within each group, boards are sorted by a code made from today's date and the board's ID: SHA-256(date + ID), lowest first. It changes every day at midnight UTC.
  4. Resting: boards that haven't answered for 7 days are listed separately, never removed.

Your browser works the order out from these rules, so everyone sees the same list on the same day, and nobody can quietly move a board, us included.

Check today's order yourself

Today (UTC) is . Each board's code is SHA-256 of the date followed by its ID. To check one, run this in a terminal, or paste the text into any online SHA-256 tool:

#Board IDStatusToday's code

The full list behind this page is public too: boards.json. The sorting code is left readable in boards.js.
