Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias, particularly in the 'Prerequisites' and 'Run the application' sections. Windows installation and environment variable instructions are mentioned before Linux/macOS equivalents, and Windows-specific tools (setx, PowerShell) are called out explicitly. However, Linux/macOS instructions are present and correct, and the code samples themselves are cross-platform.
Recommendations:
- Present environment variable instructions in a neutral or parallel order (e.g., group Windows, PowerShell, and Linux/macOS together or alternate which comes first).
- In the 'Prerequisites' section, link to both Windows and Linux/macOS Node.js installation guides, or use a neutral landing page.
- Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., setx, PowerShell) are mentioned, ensure Linux/macOS equivalents are given equal prominence and not as an afterthought.
- Consider using tabbed or side-by-side formatting for OS-specific instructions to visually reinforce parity.
- Review for subtle language that implies Windows is the default or primary platform.
