Look for "fit & finish" in a completed app. There is an old saying: "we're 90% done, now all we have to do is the remaining 90%!" I like to see that polish. It implies an understanding of the craft that is required, attention to detail, good debugging skills and an appreciation of human-centric design principles.

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.
