Summary:
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias, primarily through the exclusive mention of the 'Storage Emulator' (a Windows-only tool) for local development and troubleshooting, and by referencing Microsoft Edge as the suggested browser. There are no explicit PowerShell or cmd.exe examples, and most commands are cross-platform (bash/Azure CLI). However, the documentation does not mention Linux/macOS equivalents for the Storage Emulator, nor does it reference cross-platform storage emulators like Azurite. Additionally, the troubleshooting note for local storage only addresses the Windows scenario, omitting guidance for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations:
- Mention Azurite as the recommended cross-platform storage emulator for local development, and provide installation and usage instructions for Linux/macOS users.
- Update troubleshooting notes to include steps for Linux/macOS users, referencing Azurite or other supported storage emulators.
- Avoid recommending Windows-specific browsers (such as Edge) unless necessary, or provide alternatives for other platforms.
- Wherever a tool or step is platform-specific, clearly indicate alternatives or equivalent steps for Linux/macOS.
- Consider adding a table or section summarizing platform-specific requirements and solutions to ensure parity.
