Omzlo is a legitimate creator of open-source hardware (NoCAN, PiWatcher) with verifiable presence on Tindie and Kickstarter. However, the submission quality is extremely low, featuring hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and a confusing project name ('IronKeeper' vs 'Omzlo P.C'). While the underlying technology (CAN-bus for makers) has genuine utility and innovation, the project falls into the 'Minimal Traction' category due to niche scale (<50k users) and poor data presentation.
