Summary:
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the Visual Studio Code (VS Code) deployment workflow. Windows-specific steps and tools (such as web.config, Application Insights, and resource group/App Service plan creation) are described in more detail and with more steps than their Linux counterparts. The Windows deployment instructions are more prominent and elaborate, and certain troubleshooting notes (e.g., about web.config) are only mentioned for Windows. There is also a reliance on Visual Studio Code, which is more common on Windows, and some steps reference Windows-centric patterns (e.g., 'right-click', 'Application Settings'). While Linux is supported and examples are present, parity in depth and troubleshooting is lacking. CLI and Portal instructions are more neutral, but the VS Code workflow leans Windows-first.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Linux deployment instructions are as detailed as Windows, including troubleshooting tips and common issues (e.g., what to do if the app doesn't start, or how to handle environment variables).
- Provide Linux-specific notes where Windows-specific notes are given (e.g., if web.config is needed for Windows, clarify what Linux expects instead, such as package.json start scripts).
- Balance the order and prominence of Linux and Windows instructions—avoid always presenting Windows as the 'advanced' or default path.
- Where possible, use cross-platform terminology and avoid patterns that are only familiar to Windows users (e.g., 'right-click' could be 'context menu').
- Include explicit Linux troubleshooting sections, especially for common deployment errors.
- Mention and provide examples for Linux-native tools or workflows (e.g., using nano/vim for editing, or Linux file paths), not just VS Code.
- Clarify when steps are identical for both OSes, and when they diverge, to help users understand platform-specific requirements.
