How to know if a snap is official?

When I was using gnome-software and the terminal I was not given the information anywhere that the snap was packaged by the official developer and I could trust it.

Ideas:

  • For terminal: put the word “official” somewhere when the snap is from the official developer so people can trust it and install it.
  • For stores: a green checkmark ✓ with the word official near the name of the developer would be helpful.

It could be “official” or “trusted” or similar concept, the idea is to ensure the user that he is not being misled and installing a random snap from a random person.

It’s in the works! :slight_smile:
