Update.

It actually went really nicely. First, I showed the project in action and explained how it came to be and what the goals are. After that, I was asked to show one component of my choice and I went with a recently refactored one and explained my motivations for the refactor (btw, it was my first try on react hooks!).

Then, on another project where I did backend as well, I showed two parts of the system I've been doing by myself, and we discussed the decisions made, SQL query efficiency and stuff like that.

I also got both nice and useful feedback after! :)

I think it is definitely a better way for doing technical interviews, compared to coding on the spot.
