Summary

Updates the README tagline to mention MariaDB alongside MySQL. mycli is commonly used with MariaDB over the MySQL protocol; the changelog already includes MariaDB-related fixes.

Documentation only; no code or deployment changes.

Test plan

  • README only

Note that mycli is a CLI for MySQL and MariaDB (MySQL protocol).

Hi! Thanks!

This is a great idea, but compatibility goes farther than MariaDB, and I actually want to reserve length in that sentence to add to the functionality part.

How about, instead, adding a full sentence above "Postgres equivalent" which lists compatibility with: MySQL, MariaDB, Percona, and TiDB?

We have also added such a list to the source of mycli.net in a few places

but the latest content hasn't been published.

Also, add your name or handle to CONTRIBUTORS! We love contributors, and the docs need love!

Revert tagline change; add compatibility sentence (MySQL, MariaDB,
Percona, TiDB) above Postgres equivalent. Add Robert Silen to AUTHORS.

@rolandwalker Thanks for the feedback — that makes sense.

I've reverted the tagline change and added a compatibility sentence above "Postgres Equivalent" listing MySQL, MariaDB, Percona, and TiDB (aligned with the mycli.net wording). Also added myself to mycli/AUTHORS.

Pushed to the branch.
