Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by providing command-line instructions and examples that implicitly or explicitly target Windows users. The only explicit shell example for running the application is labeled as 'powershell', and there is no mention of Linux or macOS-specific shell commands, nor any guidance for non-Windows environments. There are no references to Windows-only tools, but the use of 'powershell' and lack of Linux parity in command-line instructions may confuse or exclude Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows (PowerShell/cmd) and Linux/macOS (bash/sh) command examples for all shell instructions, especially for installing dependencies and running the app.
  • Use neutral shell syntax (e.g., $ npm install, $ node index.js) or provide tabs for different OSes.
  • Avoid labeling generic npm or node commands as 'powershell' unless there are actual PowerShell-specific commands.
  • Explicitly state that the instructions work on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and mention any OS-specific considerations if applicable.
  • Add a note or section for Linux/macOS users, clarifying any differences (such as using 'node index.js' instead of 'npm ./index.js', which is not standard npm usage).
