    }

    [System.Flags]
    private enum LogLevel
    {
        TRACE,
        INFO,
        DEBUG,
        WARNING,
        ERROR,
        FATAL
    }
}

Neat, just fine for simple usage to 0-external-deps apps. Just a small suggestion regarding multithreaded environment:

    private readonly object fileLock = new object();
...
    private void WriteLine(string text, bool append = true)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text)) 
        {
            return;
        }
        lock (fileLock) 
        {
            using (System.IO.StreamWriter writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(logFilename, append, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8))
            {
                writer.WriteLine(text);
            }
        }
    }

Just to avoid exception during multiple access.

Thanks, I needed a simple logger and it is exactly what I wanted.
