Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Windows Defender Firewall, .exe filenames, registry edits, and App Service plans) are mentioned before or instead of Linux/macOS equivalents. Troubleshooting and configuration steps often reference Windows-only mechanisms (e.g., registry keys, .exe files, Windows App Service plans), and some examples (such as local.settings.json paths and ngrok usage) default to Windows conventions. Linux/macOS guidance is present but less prominent, and often appears after Windows instructions or as a note. There are few, if any, PowerShell examples, but the overall workflow and troubleshooting are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific instructions, such as firewall configuration, file paths, and registry edits.
- Include Linux/macOS examples and screenshots alongside Windows ones, especially for local.settings.json, ngrok setup, and project folder navigation.
- Clarify App Service plan requirements for Linux and highlight cross-platform deployment options earlier in the guide.
- Reorganize sections so that platform-agnostic steps come first, and platform-specific instructions are grouped and clearly labeled.
- Ensure troubleshooting steps cover Linux/macOS scenarios (e.g., permissions, service management) as thoroughly as Windows.
- Avoid assuming Windows as the default environment; use neutral language and examples where possible.
