Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Windows/Windows Phone-specific notification examples (using Windows toast XML and SendWindowsNativeNotificationAsync), mentioning Windows platforms explicitly, and omitting equivalent Linux, Android, or cross-platform notification examples. The SDK usage is shown only for Windows notifications, and there are no Linux command-line, REST API, or cross-platform code samples.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent examples for sending notifications to Android (using FCM) and iOS (using APNS) with the Notification Hubs SDK.
- Include REST API examples for sending notifications, which are platform-agnostic and runnable from any OS, including Linux.
- Provide Node.js or Python code samples that demonstrate sending notifications from non-Windows environments.
- Rephrase sections that mention Windows platforms first or exclusively, ensuring cross-platform parity in both order and content.
- Explicitly mention that the SDK and REST APIs can be used from Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
