Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the 'Build and run the app locally' section. Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are listed before Linux/macOS equivalents, and screenshots and instructions reference 'Command Prompt or PowerShell window' specifically. However, Linux/macOS commands are present, and Visual Studio Code is mentioned as cross-platform. There are no missing Linux examples, but the ordering and language prioritize Windows environments.
Recommendations:
  • Present environment variable instructions for Windows, macOS, and Linux in parallel (e.g., in a table or side-by-side), or list Linux/macOS first in some cases.
  • Use neutral language such as 'terminal window' instead of 'Command Prompt or PowerShell window' when referring to where the app is run.
  • Include screenshots or references to Linux/macOS terminals as well as Windows.
  • Ensure that all code and command examples are explicitly tested and confirmed to work on Linux/macOS, and note any platform-specific differences.
  • Where possible, avoid assuming the user is on Windows (e.g., do not say 'restart the command prompt' without also mentioning restarting the terminal on Linux/macOS).
