I used this example to make a page and wanted to display the username on the page. How do I do that?

You wanted the current user's name? If you're using javascript try app.username. If you wanted to pass that in from the server side, use req.user.uid to call user.getUserFields to pull the username (check out src/routes/user.js line 323-341 for an example)

what are you building?
