Ask HN: Best App Portfolios

There are a few mentioned in this article on tips for portfolio sites that might give you some inspiration: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2008/12/10-characteristics-o...

One of the ideas I thought was great was to have a portfolio blog, not a portfolio site. You can post pictures of your work, but then accompany it with a technical summary of what problem you you were solving. Great for coders to showcase the stuff behind the app's UI.

This is what I am doing and it is attracting work for me. My website has been up less than 2 weeks and I've already started building an app for my first client.

My site is just a WordPress blog with pages for my Google Play store, LinkedIn profile and a Contact Me form. Check it out - jamesjguthrie.com

Thanks for the link I'm checking it out now. You're right about there needing to be more detail than just pictures for a coders portfolio. I'll try out the blog format. Thanks!
