Game

The player controls a baseball superhero named Batsu (Bats) who must use baseballs to defeat his opponents. Being hit once reverts him to "normal" Terii (Terry), who swats at his opponents using a baseball bat. Opponents include machinery, humanoids, and animals. Killing opponents while in Terii form results in a larger energy bar.

There's one big SaaS product, Roam Research, various opensource projects doing similar stuff, and also TiddlyWiki which has been around for ages and is some sort of crazy HTML/JS quine-type thing which happens to be able to store notes, and now has extensions for that.
