Module 3 · Shipping a portfolio app Lesson 9 of 15
Deploying and writing the README
Netlify, Vercel and GitHub Pages all host a free React build. The last ten minutes — repository, README, live link — are what convert finished code into something a recruiter can check.
Worked example
A README with what the app does, a screenshot, the live link, how to run it locally, and one paragraph on a bug you fixed is more convincing than a long feature list.
Your practice task
Deploy it, write the README, put the live link at the top of your resume under Projects, and open it on your phone to confirm it works there.
Do this before moving on. Reading a solution teaches the shape of it; typing it teaches you.
Key takeaway
Netlify, Vercel and GitHub Pages all host a free React build. The last ten minutes — repository, README, live link — are what convert finished code into something a recruiter can check.
