Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by requiring Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE) in the prerequisites, providing only PowerShell/dotnet CLI installation commands, and omitting any Linux/macOS-specific instructions or tooling. There are no examples or notes for Linux users regarding compatible editors, package installation, or environment setup. The focus on Windows tools and the absence of Linux alternatives or parity in setup steps may hinder cross-platform adoption.
Recommendations
  • In the prerequisites, mention that .NET development can be done on Linux and macOS, and suggest cross-platform editors like VS Code alongside Visual Studio.
  • Provide installation instructions for the Azure Communication Services Chat SDK using the dotnet CLI in a cross-platform context, and clarify that the command works on Linux/macOS terminals as well.
  • Include notes or examples for Linux/macOS users, such as using the terminal or bash shell, and reference compatible package managers or editors.
  • Avoid assuming Visual Studio is required; clarify that any .NET-compatible IDE or editor can be used.
  • Where PowerShell commands are shown, also provide equivalent bash/zsh commands if relevant, or clarify that the dotnet CLI is cross-platform.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility in the introduction or prerequisites to reassure non-Windows users.
