Ask HN: As a Front-End Dev., what should I show on my portfolio?
I'm a Front-End Developer with 2 years of experience and I guess it's time to build up my personal portfolio website but I'm not sure about what to show there. I can't just show pictures of websites and apps I've made, that makes no difference between the designer and me. And also pictures don't really reference the job I've done.
I can't also just post links of the stuff I've done because many of them changed the design or f--ed up the front-end after my work or the apps are no longer active. So I don't have much works that are live right now.
Should I just write down which languages/frameworks/tools I use and how good am I at them? That would be good for the people who understands the development process, but "regular" people that I can get freelance jobs from will not understand anything from "I'm pretty good with HTML5 and improving myself on AngularJS".
I'm totally mindblown right now and open for your suggestions. Also I'd like to see other Front-End Developers' websites, please.
