Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias, primarily by prioritizing Visual Studio (Windows-only) and PowerShell workflows, providing more detailed steps and screenshots for Windows tools, and recommending PowerShell for Windows hosting. While Linux options are available via CLI and VS Code, some sections (especially PowerShell) lack Linux equivalents or direct instructions, and Windows-centric tools are often mentioned first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Ensure all PowerShell instructions have equivalent Bash/Linux shell examples, especially for deployment and packaging steps.
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS instructions for tasks like zipping and publishing (e.g., using 'zip' instead of 'Compress-Archive').
  • Balance screenshots and step-by-step guides between Windows (Visual Studio) and cross-platform tools (VS Code, CLI).
  • Avoid language such as 'We recommend PowerShell for Windows hosting' without offering Linux alternatives; clarify when a tool is Windows-only and provide Linux guidance.
  • In portal instructions, clarify any OS-specific limitations (e.g., GitHub Actions deployment on Linux) and offer workarounds or links to Linux-specific guides.
  • Where possible, present cross-platform options first or in parallel, rather than defaulting to Windows-first presentation.
