Description

I just had to write a one-off custom plugin to redirect niche-musems.com to www.niche-museums.com (https://github.com/simonw/museums/issues/21) - it would be great if this kind of thing could be handled by a configurable plugin.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked plugins/redirect_www.py example and the Datasette plugin documentation. Define how redirect rules should be configured and how the plugin should handle the supplied domain-redirect use case. Done means a reusable configurable plugin replaces the one-off custom plugin behavior and has tests for the redirect flow.
