+/// ## Logger for [`pt`](libpt)
+///
+/// A logger is generally a functionality that let's you write information from your library or
+/// application in a more structured manner than if you just wrote all information to `stdout` or
+/// `stderr` with the likes of `println!` or `eprintln!`.
+///
+/// It offers writing to multiple targets, such as both the terminal and a log file, and allows
+/// users to choose the verbosity of the information that gets printed by selecting a
+/// [Loglevel](Level).
+///
+/// ## Levels
+///
+/// TODO: add levels desc and ascii art
+///
+/// ## Usage
+///
+/// You don't need to use the [Logger] struct, it's better to use the macros instead:
+///
+/// * `error!`
+/// * `warn!`
+/// * `info!`
+/// * `debug!`
+/// * `trace!`
+///
+/// You can however use the [Logger] struct in cases where usage of a macro is bad or
+/// you are somehow working with multiple loggers. The macros offer additional functionalities,
+/// suck as full `format!` support and context, see [`tracing`], which we use as backend.
+///
+/// ## Examples
+///
+/// ```
+/// # use libpt_log::{Logger, info};
+/// # fn main() {
+/// Logger::builder()
+///     .uptime(true)
+///     .build();
+/// info!("hello world");
