Enhancement request: better documentation #528

Open

Description

@asomers

The documentation for this library is incomplete. It could really use some thorough API documentation. For example, what is a Registry? When does the collect method get called, and what is its contract?

    Documentation is awful...I wrote function and client show anything else except my function and I can't understand why in console everything alright.

    It's kinda true. The examples are surprisingly shallow and if you need anything other than a simple Gauge using the simple start_http_server you're in for a rollercoaster ride. 😂

    Oh man, I agree with this wholeheartedly!

    Hi, I'd like to improve the API docs for the core concepts. To keep the PR small, I'd start with the Registry docs — is that the right scope, or would you prefer a different starting point?
