Bug Description

As has been pointed out (https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/external-repositories/1760/11), the store should be called "Snap Store", not "Ubuntu Store." The dashboard has this mostly right, except for the name of the default store, which it still calls Ubuntu (screenshot attached).

Hi Evan,

I agree with should rename the default store, but if we have "Snap" being the new name, the button in the screenshot would read:

"Add your snap to the Snap Store" (feels redundant snap - snap)

Then the home page of a logged in user, when she has snaps and filters by a store:

"Snaps in Ubuntu" would be "Snaps in Snap"

and the dropdown for store filtering would show store names and one row would be "Snap" which is confusing.

Then in the "Stores you can access" page, the list would also show regular store names plus "Snap".

I propose we change "Ubuntu" to a string like "Main" or "Default", so the strings above would read:

"Add your snap to the Main Store"
"Snaps in Main" (we could append "Store" so it reads "Snaps in the Main Store")

And the store listing, for either filtering or switching stores, would read:

Foo
Bar
Baz
Lorem
Main
Ipsum

What do you think?

Natalia and I worked through this with help from Gustavo. We'll use "Global" as the store name and ensure that it is the first entry in any list.

The " (Public)" suffix will be dropped, but " (Private)" and " (Unlisted)" will be retained. Vendors might otherwise be concerned that they're making their snap public when in actuality that won't happen until they release to a channel.
