One of the very useful functions in express is res.redirect so that you can easily redirect to a different page. Polka 0.5.0 doesn’t support it out of the box but some digging in GitHub revealed a creative way to do it:

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
        res.redirect = location => {
            let str = Redirecting to ${location};
            res.writeHead(302, {
                Location: location,
                'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
                'Content-Length': str.length,
            });
            res.end(str);
        };
        next();
    })
