> Unless you're a front end developer, what the end product looks like is of little consequence.

I'm doing full stack development. I use bootstrap with JavaScript MVC framework and Python or Java for backend. So I guess prospective clients might be interested in seeing what I have built in the past.

I'm afraid this is the tricky part because I will have chance to show my experience only after clients have seen my portfolio and contacted me to show their interest to work with me. This makes me envy front-end devs and graphic designers as they can showcase their work in all the glory. You idea about discussing this possibility of hosting a white paper or case study of the app is a great suggestion, thanks.
