Summary:
The documentation generally maintains parity between Linux and Windows, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific instructions (such as editing the hosts file path) are called out in a dedicated section, and the Windows workflow is described in more detail. The Linux example for /etc/hosts is less explicit, and the Linux curl example is buried within a larger HTML output, making it less accessible. There is also a tendency to mention Windows paths and tools (like C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\) before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. The documentation does not provide PowerShell or CMD commands, but the structure and notes suggest a Windows-first mindset.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Linux and Windows instructions are presented with equal prominence and detail.
- Provide explicit Linux examples for editing /etc/hosts, not just a mention.
- Include step-by-step Linux workflow instructions similar to the Windows section (e.g., how to open and edit /etc/hosts with sudo).
- When referencing file paths or tools, always mention both Linux and Windows equivalents together, or alternate their order in different sections.
- Where possible, provide command-line examples for both platforms (e.g., using nano/vim for Linux, Notepad for Windows).
- Avoid assuming the reader is more familiar with Windows by default.
