Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias. Visual Studio (Windows-only) is the only IDE mentioned for development, and all project creation steps assume a Windows GUI workflow. Environment variable setup instructions list Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell before Linux/macOS, and restarting Visual Studio is required, which is not cross-platform. There are no instructions for developing or running the sample on Linux (e.g., with Mono), and no mention of cross-platform editors like VS Code.
Recommendations:
  • Include instructions for setting up and running the application on Linux using Mono or .NET Framework alternatives, or clarify that the tutorial is Windows-only if that is the case.
  • Mention cross-platform editors such as Visual Studio Code and provide CLI-based project creation steps where possible.
  • Present environment variable setup instructions for Windows, Linux, and macOS in parallel, not with Windows first.
  • If Visual Studio is required, explicitly state that the tutorial targets Windows and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
  • Add notes or links for Linux/macOS users regarding any limitations or alternative approaches.
