I'm not a developer but a designer. What do developers showcase in their portfolio? How do you describe the projects you've worked on? What is a recruiter looking for when visiting your website?
It definitely tends to be less of a visual portfolio than a designer's.

Let me quote movie-zuckerberg here: "You know, you really don't need a forensics team to get to the bottom of this. If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook." Execution, dear Wolfram, is the single-most important thing in our industry today. I personally have a shit ton of things I'm thinking about or that I might want to do some time. All worthless, until someone executes on them. Tim…

Sorry to point this out, but you sound more like a recruiter than a designer. I'm sure people would answer your questions if you would ask them a little bit less bluntly. My answers to your questions are: 1. I showcase the projects I've been working on 2. I don't describe the projects, just point a link to them, they should describe themselves (README, code comments, etc.) 3. Someone very skilled to make them good mo…
I don't describe the projects, just point a link to them, they should describe themselves... Can't disagree more. If I'm hiring a freelance developer, I want to be assured of their "here's my problem, help me come up with a solution" abilities.

Perhaps the difference is that I'm creating this thing because I want it to exist and benefit the world (including myself as a user), not because I want credit or to get very rich off it. (Or maybe my idea just sucks.)
I also got a little carried away, wrote out my about page, and even wrote three blog posts. Yes three. I'm a fan.
I could be awesome to get automatically the projects from Github.
And also being able to re-arrange the order of projects. I personally want to arrange them chronologically and also edit them.
Hope you will continue to dev it. The good thing to know : there is a need for this kind of solution :)
