Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows tools (Visual Studio, UWP, IIS) are required for building and deploying the manager application, and Windows instructions are presented first and in greater detail. There is no mention of Linux alternatives for backend development, deployment, or running the manager application. The troubleshooting section and deployment steps are Windows-specific, and Linux/macOS users are only referenced for iOS development, not for backend or manager app tasks.
Recommendations
- Provide instructions for building and deploying the backend API using cross-platform .NET Core CLI tools, including on Linux/macOS.
- Offer alternatives to Visual Studio, such as Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider, and document how to build and run the solution on Linux/macOS.
- Clarify whether the manager application (UWP) can be replaced with a cross-platform desktop app (e.g., Electron, React Native for macOS) and provide guidance if possible.
- Include troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux/macOS environments.
- Present platform-agnostic instructions first, or in parallel, rather than Windows-first.
- Document how to deploy the backend to Azure using Azure CLI or GitHub Actions, not just Visual Studio.
