Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Visual Studio Code is presented as the primary development environment, and instructions often reference Windows-specific workflows (e.g., command palette, F1, terminal settings). PowerShell is included as a first-class language, and Windows-specific details (such as avoiding WSL Bash as the default terminal) are mentioned. While Linux/macOS instructions are present for Python virtual environments, Windows instructions are given in multiple variants (bash, cmd), and some steps (such as stopping the func.exe host process) reference Windows executables. There is a lack of explicit parity for Linux tools and troubleshooting, and Windows-centric patterns (e.g., reliance on VS Code extensions and GUI actions) are emphasized.
Recommendations
  • Ensure all command-line examples are provided for both Windows and Linux/macOS, not just for Python virtual environments.
  • Include troubleshooting notes for Linux/macOS environments (e.g., permissions, terminal issues) alongside Windows-specific notes.
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, rather than after.
  • Avoid referencing Windows executables (e.g., func.exe) in generic steps; use cross-platform terminology.
  • Highlight alternative development environments and workflows for Linux users (e.g., using CLI tools outside VS Code, or alternative editors).
  • Provide parity for PowerShell examples with Bash or other shell equivalents where possible.
  • Clarify that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS, and explicitly mention any platform-specific limitations or requirements.
