Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias in the local development setup instructions. Windows PowerShell is mentioned first when instructing users to open a shell, and Windows-specific commands (such as 'py -m venv .venv' and '.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1') are listed before their Linux equivalents. The phrase 'Open a Windows PowerShell or any Linux shell as you prefer' puts Windows first, and the examples for creating and activating the virtual environment start with Windows commands. However, Linux equivalents are present and described, and the rest of the documentation is platform-neutral.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, using tabs or side-by-side formatting, so neither platform is prioritized.
  • Use neutral phrasing such as 'Open a terminal (Windows PowerShell or Linux shell)' rather than 'Open a Windows PowerShell or any Linux shell as you prefer'.
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux commands, or use platform tabs to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Explicitly mention macOS where relevant, as its commands often match Linux.
  • Ensure screenshots and file paths use platform-neutral or platform-specific examples as appropriate.
