About TopSlash

TopSlash is a software-deal marketplace. Founders pay for a clearly labeled Paid Rank on a public board and may attach a genuine subscription deal; buyers claim limited-inventory discounts sold by the vendor through the vendor's own Stripe account. TopSlash sells advertising placement and verification; it is not the seller of any vendor software.

Who operates it

Operated by Envol, Inc.; founder: Tony. Reach us at /contact or on X at @TopsLashLol.

Laeli disclosure

The listing Laeli is operated by the marketplace founder and seeded at $1 with the label “Operated by the marketplace founder · Launch seed listing.”. The seed is a disclosed credit, not a Stripe payment: it is excluded from the revenue counter, shown on the Complete Bid History as “Launch seed”, and Laeli carries no marketplace deal.

How the board works

Positions are ordered by cumulative confirmed paid total; ties keep the listing that reached the total first.
First public claim of #1 is $2, then $5, then a $5 minimum increase. Returning founders pay only the difference.
Checkout never reserves rank. Only a verified completed Stripe payment changes a total.
Today and This Week count payments inside the Pacific-time period, not lifetime totals.
Paid rank is advertising. It is independent from quality and from marketplace eligibility.

Public counters — exact definitions

Every number on the site is a query. There is no synthetic increment, no countdown without a server-side end time, and no “people viewing”.

Unique visitors (approx., cookie-free): Distinct daily visitor hashes (sha256(daily_salt ‖ ip ‖ ua ‖ lang)) summed over days since launch; HyperLogLog ±0.8%. Page views are not visitors. (Redis HLL → counter_snapshots)
Active now (approx.): Distinct visitor hashes with a page view in the last 5 minutes. (Redis)
Confirmed platform ranking revenue: Σ rank payments − Σ reversals: gross confirmed payments minus reversals, not net of Stripe fees or taxes. The Laeli seed credit is excluded. (Postgres)
Highest cumulative rank total: max(rank total) among published listings. (Postgres)
Approved listings: Count of listings with status published. (Postgres)
Unique outbound clicks: Count of click rows: one per visitor per listing per Pacific day; suspected bots excluded. (Postgres)
Claims: Count of checkout holds started. A claim is not a purchase. (Postgres)
Verified purchases: Count of purchases confirmed by a Stripe webhook and not fully refunded. (Postgres)
Verified realized savings: Σ (normal price − paid) over verified, non-refunded purchases. (Postgres)
Available inventory: Σ remaining units over published deals. (Postgres)
Available deal value / potential savings: Σ inventory value / Σ potential savings over published deals. Theoretical and labeled as such. (Postgres)
