Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias, especially in the .NET section. Windows build and packaging instructions are presented first, with Linux equivalents following. References to 'windowscode' tabs and links are prevalent throughout, even in sections for other languages and platforms. The supported file types and CRON expression documentation are linked with '?tabs=windowscode', which may not be fully accurate for Linux users. There is a lack of parity in scripting and packaging examples for Linux in some pivots, and Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., win-x64, .exe) are emphasized.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel, rather than Windows first.
  • Use neutral tab names (e.g., 'platform', 'os') instead of 'windowscode' for links and references.
  • Ensure all language pivots provide explicit Linux instructions, including packaging and execution scripts.
  • Include references to Linux tools (e.g., bash, zip, shell scripts) wherever Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, .exe) are mentioned.
  • Clarify differences in file types, execution, and deployment between Windows and Linux environments.
  • Review and update links to documentation sections to use platform-appropriate tabs (e.g., '?tabs=linuxcode' where relevant).
