Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias in the 'Run the application' section, where Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are presented before Linux/macOS equivalents. Additionally, Windows-specific tools (setx, PowerShell) are mentioned explicitly, while Linux/macOS only gets a generic 'export' command. The Node.js installation prerequisite links to a Windows-centric page and mentions Windows and WSL before Linux, further reinforcing a Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
  • Present platform instructions in parallel tabs or in an order that does not prioritize Windows (e.g., alphabetical: Linux/macOS, PowerShell, Windows CMD).
  • Provide equal detail for Linux/macOS, including links to official installation guides and troubleshooting steps.
  • Avoid language that implies Windows is the default or primary platform; instead, use neutral phrasing.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform commands or clarify platform-specific differences in a balanced way.
  • Explicitly mention that all examples work on Linux/macOS unless there are platform-specific caveats.
