Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias, especially in the 'Run the application' section, where Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are presented before Linux/macOS equivalents. PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (setx) are given prominent placement, while Linux/macOS instructions are listed last. The prerequisite section also references Windows and WSL before Linux. All code samples themselves are cross-platform, but the environment setup guidance prioritizes Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Present environment variable instructions for Linux/macOS first, or in parallel with Windows, to avoid implying Windows is the default platform.
  • In the prerequisites, provide direct links or instructions for installing Node.js on Linux/macOS, not just Windows/WSL.
  • Use tabbed or side-by-side formatting for platform-specific commands to emphasize parity.
  • Explicitly state that all code samples are cross-platform and runnable on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
  • Consider including a note about differences in environment variable persistence between platforms (e.g., setx vs. export).
