How to:

1. get logged-in user name

2.get raised by name  (from previously created record)

3. compare both - if same show edit button/ field/ etc.. if not hide 

Any ideas, examples of JS?

Depending on where the "Get Raised By Name" is on your page. You can create a comparison to compare the Knack.getUserAttributes().name with the value from the "Raised By Name". 

For example, if your edit button is on a view and we perform a view render:

$(document).on('knack-view-render.view_XXX', function(event, view, record) {

   // Hide your values initially so there's no awkward UX when loading the view

    $(knackEditButtonId).show();

    $(knackEditFieldId).show();

    $(knackEditEtcId).show();

    // Define the variables to compare

    const raisedByName = 'find raised by value from view on page'

    const loggedInUser = Knack.getUserAttributes().name

    // Create Conditional Check to compare the values

    if(raisedByName === loggedInUser) {

       $(knackEditButtonId).show();

       $(knackEditFieldId).show();

       $(knackEditEtcId).show();

    }

}
