Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias by presenting command-line instructions and examples in a way that implicitly assumes a Windows environment. Specifically, the use of 'powershell' syntax in the 'Run your SPA application' step, and the lack of explicit Linux/macOS terminal instructions or parity, may disadvantage non-Windows users. There are no references to Windows-specific tools, but the command shell instructions and examples are not cross-platform neutral.
Recommendations:
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS equivalents for all command-line instructions, especially for running Node.js applications (e.g., 'node index.js' instead of 'npm ./index.js').
  • Use cross-platform neutral terminology such as 'terminal' or 'command line' instead of 'command shell', and avoid referencing 'powershell' unless necessary.
  • Where code blocks are labeled as 'powershell', ensure that equivalent 'bash' or 'sh' code blocks are also provided, or use unlabeled code blocks for commands that are identical across platforms.
  • Add a note or section clarifying that the instructions apply to Windows, Linux, and macOS, and highlight any platform-specific differences.
  • Consider including a table or sidebar with common command-line differences for Windows vs. Linux/macOS for Node.js app development.
