Logging in case insensitive or not? #18

Hello

I think I've spotted a small issue while using the application. If you create a new user, for example someUser123, and create a few notes, then login on another device/browser with SomeUser123, you'll notice the notes previously created are not there (or are not retrieved from the server).
One could say that the login is case sensitive, so the users are distinct, therefore it works as expected. But... when logging in, it seems like the UI thinks it's the same user because it displays Welcome, someUser123 (a_hash_for_this_user) for someUser123 and for SomeUser123 it displays the same hash Welcome, SomeUser123 (a_hash_for_this_user_same_as_previous). This makes me think that the login is actually case insensitive and some discrepancy is happening.

I came across this issue when logging in my instance of Offline Notepad from mobile and the keyboard there automatically capitalized the first letter of my username.

Any chances you could address this issue and/or help me understand what's happening?
Obviously, this is not critical, as I can just use the right casing for the username, but I thought I'd let you know.

Thank you!
