Strell (strell.io) is a functional SEO content optimization tool offering keyword research and content auditing features, confirmed by external search to have a presence on AppSumo and legitimate user reviews. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone', revenue 'null').
