This sounds really great - but how does something look 'fit & finish'? Is a decent Readme.md with descriptions + screenshots of a sharp app good enough, or does it need to be actually deployed somewhere public?

Typically when I am presenting a project as part of an interview I spin it up in AWS (or elsewhere) and provide login credentials for them to actually play with the application. It makes it a lot easier to discuss the specifics of how an application was built when you can demo the application directly.
