Summary:
The documentation page is generally cross-platform in intent, focusing on Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions, which are available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. However, there are subtle signs of Windows bias: troubleshooting steps specifically mention Windows (e.g., WSL Bash), and there are no explicit Linux/macOS-specific instructions, caveats, or screenshots. Windows-specific issues are called out, but Linux/macOS users are not directly addressed, and there are no examples or troubleshooting steps tailored for them. All instructions assume a generic environment, but Windows is the only OS called out by name.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit notes or troubleshooting steps for Linux and macOS users, such as common issues with permissions, shell environments, or dependencies.
- Where Windows-specific guidance is given (e.g., about WSL Bash), provide equivalent Linux/macOS advice or clarify if those issues do not apply.
- Include at least one example or screenshot showing the workflow on Linux or macOS to demonstrate parity and inclusivity.
- In requirements and setup sections, explicitly mention that the instructions apply to all supported platforms, and link to platform-specific installation guides for dependencies like Azure Functions Core Tools.
- Review all included files (e.g., functions-install-core-tools-vs-code.md) to ensure they do not contain hidden Windows bias.
