Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias: Windows and Visual Studio are presented as the primary development environment, with explicit requirements for a Windows computer and UWP application. Instructions for building and deploying the backend focus on Visual Studio and Azure App Service (Windows), with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents. There are no examples or guidance for using Linux-based development tools, nor any parity for deploying with Linux-based Azure App Service or using cross-platform editors. The troubleshooting and build sections are Windows-specific, and Linux/macOS users are only mentioned as required for iOS development, not for backend or manager app development.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for building and running the backend API using .NET CLI on Linux/macOS, including publishing to Azure App Service (Linux).
  • Provide guidance for using cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) and terminal commands for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux/macOS environments.
  • Clarify which components are Windows-only (UWP manager app) and suggest alternatives for Linux/macOS users (e.g., web-based manager app, Electron, or cross-platform desktop frameworks).
  • Reorder sections to present cross-platform options first, or at least in parallel with Windows-specific instructions.
