Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias, particularly in the 'Run the application' section. Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are presented before Linux/macOS equivalents, and there is more detailed guidance for Windows users (e.g., mentioning restarting the command prompt after setx). The prerequisite section also references Windows and WSL before Linux, and the linked Node.js installation guide is Windows-focused. However, Linux/macOS commands are present and correct, and the code samples themselves are cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS and Windows instructions in parallel tabs or in a consistent order (e.g., Linux/macOS first, or alphabetical).
  • Avoid giving Windows-specific instructions (such as 'restart the command prompt') without equivalent context for Linux/macOS.
  • In the prerequisites, provide equal prominence to Linux/macOS installation instructions for Node.js, not just Windows/WSL.
  • Where possible, use neutral language and structure (e.g., 'On Windows, run...', 'On Linux/macOS, run...') rather than always leading with Windows.
  • Ensure all screenshots and portal instructions are OS-agnostic or provide alternatives if there are differences.
