Description

When polka package is published to npm, it includes the readme file which weights around 22 kB.

https://github.com/lukeed/polka/blob/master/packages/polka/readme.md

Moving this documentation to GitHub Wiki or some other place would reduce the unpacked size from 25.5 kB to 4.31 kB.

Update readme to include minimal details & add external references to the much more detailed documentation.

Thanks for this awesome package.

Research direction

Review packages/polka/readme.md, the README included in the npm package. Shorten it to minimal package details and add external references to the fuller documentation, while preserving the useful project context. Done means the published package no longer carries the full roughly 22 kB README and its unpacked size is reduced toward the stated 4.31 kB.
