Why is express not serving files?

Question

Node.js

Hello. I wrote a simple script for returning statics:

const http = require('http'),
      express = require('express'),
      app = express();

app.use('/', express.static(__dirname + '/front-end/index.html'));
app.use('/add', express.static(__dirname + '/front-end/add.html'));
app.listen(8080);

At the same time, when going to the root, the static is not given away, but when going to /add, everything works. Moreover, if you replace '/' with '/another', for example, then everything works. What could be the problem?

const http = require('http'),
      express = require('express'),
      app = express();

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/front-end'));
app.use('/add', express.static(__dirname + '/front-end/add.html'));
app.listen(8080);
