Suggestion: Trim username at the login page before attempting to log in

Currently logging into Helpq requires you avoid spaces before and after typing in your username. So this input will not work:
username: " admin "
password: "hunter2"

My fork has made changes so that the above input works. Of course, only the username is trimmed, not the password. If you would like to implement this change, I've included the modified code block. This change is made in client/components/login/login.js :

  Meteor.loginWithPassword(
      $(t.findAll('#username')).val().trim(),
      $(t.findAll('#password')).val(),
      function(error){
        if (error){
          $(t.findAll('#password')).val("");
          t.error.set(error.reason);
        }
      }
  )
}

Sounds like a good change! Want to submit a pull request for a formal review / merge? Would be a nice addition to the contributors list!

I could do that, but I've also made some stylistic changes to the app itself (colors, logos, etc). Will you be able to pick out the specific changes to merge? Thank you.

If you could, you can create a branch from the point of fork, and cherry pick the commit or part of the commit. Then you could compare that branch!

Alright, made the request.
