Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, especially in the local database setup section. PowerShell is used exclusively for Docker and SQL Server setup commands, with no equivalent bash or shell examples for Linux/macOS users. SQL Server Express is recommended specifically for 'your local Windows computer' before mentioning Docker as a cross-platform option. Troubleshooting and validation steps are also PowerShell-centric, and there is no explicit guidance for Linux/macOS users on how to run these steps in their native shells. While Docker is cross-platform and PowerShell can be installed on Linux/macOS, the lack of bash/zsh examples and the initial focus on Windows tools may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide bash/zsh equivalents for all PowerShell commands, especially for Docker setup and database validation.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS workflows and tools (e.g., using native terminal, alternatives to SQL Server Express).
  • Reorder sections to present cross-platform options (Docker) before Windows-specific ones (SQL Server Express).
  • Add troubleshooting steps for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., file permissions, Docker networking).
  • Clarify that PowerShell is optional and provide links to bash alternatives.
