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.
A portfolio can also consist of project writeups/screenshots and/or links to live sites.
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 money with little hassle
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. Simply linking to an app they build for a client or a Github project doesn't necessarily tell me everything I want to know. Why does this exist, and what problem was it trying to solve? And did it end up solving said problem, if so — how?
