Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools and paths are mentioned first or exclusively in key sections (e.g., Windows Defender Firewall, regedit, .exe files, C:\ paths), and some setup and troubleshooting steps are only described for Windows (e.g., registry edits, firewall prompts). Linux/macOS equivalents are missing or only briefly mentioned later, and some examples (such as editing registry keys or handling firewall prompts) are not cross-platform. There is also a tendency to use Windows terminology and screenshots throughout, with limited parity for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux and macOS equivalents alongside Windows instructions for all setup, configuration, and troubleshooting steps (e.g., firewall configuration, file paths, environment variables, and permissions).
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific examples and screenshots where relevant, especially for common tasks like editing configuration files, running commands, or handling permissions.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology or tools (such as regedit, Windows Defender Firewall, .exe files) without offering alternatives for other platforms.
  • When referencing file paths, use cross-platform notation or provide both Windows and Linux/macOS examples (e.g., C:\Users\ vs. ~/).
  • For tools like ngrok, show command-line usage for Linux/macOS, not just Windows (e.g., avoid only referencing ngrok.exe).
  • Explicitly state when a feature or step is Windows-only, and provide guidance or workarounds for Linux/macOS users where possible.
  • Review all code snippets and configuration examples to ensure they are valid on all supported platforms, or provide platform-specific variants.
