| Spartan for Alternative and Legacy Systems |
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Because spartan does not require TLS, the already lightweight protocol |
| provides a modern doorway for alternative & legacy systems to enter the |
| smolnet. It also helps demonstrate how the various protocols aren't |
| competing with each other but rather... helping to extend the smolnet in |
| various useful ways. Below are browsers that include Spartan support. |
