Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a bias toward Windows by exclusively using an ASP.NET WebAPI backend for the server-side component, with no mention of Linux-friendly or cross-platform alternatives (such as Node.js, Python, or Java backends). The backend example assumes familiarity with Windows-centric technologies and does not provide guidance or code samples for users on Linux or macOS. There are no references to Linux tools, deployment patterns, or command-line instructions, and the only backend stack shown is one most commonly associated with Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent backend implementation examples using cross-platform technologies such as Node.js (Express), Python (Flask/FastAPI), or Java (Spring Boot), and reference these alongside the ASP.NET example.
- Include instructions for deploying and running the backend on Linux (e.g., using Docker, Azure App Service for Linux, or other Linux-based hosting).
- Add notes or links for users who may be developing on macOS or Linux, clarifying that the client-side (Android) code is platform-agnostic and that the backend can be implemented in any language or framework.
- Where possible, use neutral terminology (e.g., 'backend API' instead of 'ASP.NET backend') and provide a selector or toggle in the documentation for different backend stacks.
- Reference tools and workflows that are available on all platforms, and avoid assuming the use of Windows-only development environments.
