 //! Panic messages for humans
 //!
-//! Handles panics by calling
-//! [`std::panic::set_hook`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/panic/fn.set_hook.html)
-//! to make errors nice for humans.
+//! Reduce the effort for users to report panics back to you
 //!
-//! ## Why?
-//! When you're building a CLI, polish is super important. Even though Rust is
-//! pretty great at safety, it's not unheard of to access the wrong index in a
-//! vector or have an assert fail somewhere.
+//! You can still get the raw output by either:
+//! - Running a debug build
+//! - Setting `RUST_BACKTRACE=1`
 //!
-//! When an error eventually occurs, you probably will want to know about it. So
-//! instead of just providing an error message on the command line, we can create a
-//! call to action for people to submit a report.
+//! ## Example
 //!
-//! This should empower people to engage in communication, lowering the chances
-//! people might get frustrated. And making it easier to figure out what might be
-//! causing bugs.
-//!
-//! ### Default Output
-//!
-//! ```txt
-//! thread 'main' panicked at 'oops', examples/main.rs:2:3
-//! note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.
+//! Add to your `fn main()`:
+//! ```rust
+//! human_panic::setup_panic!();
 //! ```
 //!
-//! ### Human-Panic Output
-//!
+//! When run locally in a release build:
 //! ```txt
-//! Well, this is embarrassing.
-//!
-//! human-panic had a problem and crashed. To help us diagnose the problem you can send us a crash report.
+//! my-program had a problem and crashed. To help us diagnose the problem you can send us a crash report.

 //! We have generated a report file at "/var/folders/zw/bpfvmq390lv2c6gn_6byyv0w0000gn/T/report-8351cad6-d2b5-4fe8-accd-1fcbf4538792.toml". Submit an issue or email with the subject of "human-panic Crash Report" and include the report as an attachment.

-/// You can either call this macro with no arguments `setup_panic!()` or

-/// The Metadata struct can't implement `Default` because of orphan rules, which
