It would be interesting to see how many HN readers develop and run SAAS apps, and whether they are side projects or your primary focus.
And, as this is HN, what tech does your app run on ?

#4I just started to work a bit more on my side project Template2pdf (http://template2pdf.com/). It is an API to enable developers to produce nice PDFs out of templates that their customers can modify on their own.
It runs on Debian with ruby/rails, java, postgresql and some system tools.
I also do some work on a SAAS to build wireless hotspot systems. I don't own anything of it, but is an interesting field once you hit scalability problems. We use all kinds of technology but the core components would be linux/freebsd, freeradius, postgresql and ruby.

The site template is a very bland and looks just like out-of-the-box bootstrap. Also you have a typo above the signup box:
> Sign up for a free trail
should say "trial" instead of "trail"

Typo is fixed.
Yes, my design skills are very limited. In case more people find the service useful I will for sure get somebody to make the page look nicer.
Thanks for your comment.

#7I'm just finishing up work on a foreign exchange data platform:
The client is JavaScript and SVG.
Backend is Nginx, Java, and C++.

#8About to launch Nota (http://nota.io/), a feedback/bug tracking tool for web apps.
Code base is mostly front end (Backbone) but some PHP (laravel) on the backend as well as some nodeJS.

#9http://www.SupportFu.com is my primary focus.
Backbone, Ruby, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Redis. Everything lives in EC2

#10I work on a YouTube music player for Chrome as a side-project: http://streamus.com/. It has done reasonably well for itself - 14k users and a 4.8/5 in the store.
I think my front-end is pretty standard: jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery Transit, qTip2, Backbone, Backbone Marionette, Lo-Dash, Jasmine.
Back-end is all Microsoft-land because I was more comfortable building it in C#. NHibernate (ORM), AutoFac (Dependency Injection), AutoMapper (DTODomain object mapper), NUnit (Test). Database is MSSQL. It's hosted by AppHarbor: https://appharbor.com/
