How Clickboard works
Type a name, then click the button as many times as you can. Your score is saved to that browser as you go, so closing the tab, closing the browser, or refreshing the page doesn't end anything — come back and Clickboard picks the same session back up, right where you left it. Full details on what does and doesn't carry over are on the Rules & Fair Play page.
The leaderboard
The leaderboard shows the highest click counts ever recorded, ranked highest first. There's no daily reset: a score stays on the board until someone else clicks past it.
Country flags
Your flag is worked out from your network connection's country, not your name or any account, since Clickboard doesn't have accounts. Your IP address itself isn't saved by the game — only the two-letter country it maps to, plus a salted one-way hash used to spot duplicate entries. The Privacy page has the details.
Players and countries
The leaderboard panel has two switches. One flips between the players board and the countries board, where every country's clicks are added together — so you're playing for your own name and for your country's spot at the same time. The other switches between all-time (nothing ever resets) and today (only sessions started since midnight UTC, so it shows the day's new players rather than everyone who clicked today).
Playing fair
The server accepts clicks at up to 15 per second, averaged over time, so no session can grow faster than a fast human hand. It limits speed rather than detecting scripts, which is why automation is also against the rules. Full details are on the Rules & Fair Play page.
Why Clickboard exists
Clickboard started as a small, deliberately pointless idea: a button that does nothing but count, and a leaderboard that turns that into a shared, slightly absurd competition. There's no score to unlock, no reward beyond a name and a number sitting above or below other people's names and numbers. That's the whole appeal — it's a leaderboard for its own sake.
Part of the fun is the spread of names on the board: real names, jokes, historical figures, single characters. The leaderboard doesn't editorialize any of it — it just ranks whatever a session's rate of clicking and elapsed time added up to.
The countries view exists for the same reason the players view does: it gives the number somewhere to belong beyond a single name. Adding up clicks by country turns an individual's clicking into something closer to a team sport, even though no two players ever interact directly.
There's no roadmap in the traditional sense. Clickboard is meant to stay what it is: one page, one button, one board, and just enough rules to keep the numbers honest.
