It depends what you want to communicate through your portfolio, other than your portfolio items. What message do you want prospective employers to get?
Here’s an example: I created a new website to contain articles[0]. It’s not a portfolio but the design and the way it’s built carry a specific message. For me, that message is caring about HTML as a communication mechanism; about websites as documents not apps; about minimalistic design not meaning lack of ornamentation; and on privacy. I did this through a site based on more text than graphics, but beautifully styled; on zero JavaScript; on zero cookies or tracking scripts; and on elegant, manuscript-like typography. None of this is overt in the site unless you read the About or the CSS file comments or happen to realize. It’s there so the kind of people who will notice this, will notice this.
So for you: what will best show off your programming skills? Perhaps you could have special JavaScript behavior or a HTML5 canvas special effect header. Or some custom widget. Or beautiful transitions between pages. Or something I cannot advise but that’s difficult with React and those who know React, will recognize when they see it. Find your communication purpose, and then build something that communicates that to those who have eyes to see it. They’re your audience.
