Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Windows Defender Firewall prompts, registry edits via regedit, App Service plan selection limited to Windows-based plans), Windows paths and screenshots, and troubleshooting steps that reference Windows-only features. Linux/macOS equivalents are often missing or mentioned after Windows, and some examples (such as registry edits and firewall prompts) are exclusively for Windows. The use of Windows-centric terminology and instructions may hinder parity and clarity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific steps, such as firewall configuration, registry edits, and file paths.
- Include screenshots and examples from Linux/macOS environments alongside Windows ones.
- When referencing tools (e.g., ngrok, command prompts), clarify usage on Linux/macOS (e.g., terminal commands, installation instructions).
- Ensure App Service plan instructions cover Linux-based hosting options if supported, or clearly state Windows-only limitations.
- Avoid presenting Windows instructions first or exclusively; interleave or parallelize instructions for all platforms.
- Audit troubleshooting and error resolution steps to ensure Linux/macOS users are not excluded.
- Use platform-agnostic language and paths where possible, or provide both formats.
