Directory?

@helje5 has previously suggested catalog for this, just to add that to the list.

Or we could stray from the default names entirely - Swift Nest - 😀

But I’m also terrible at naming things.

The only proper name ...

Swift Package Index? Considering it’s a platform for indexing Swift Packages...

Or,

Kill “Library” all together, and you kill the issue 🧐 Swift Packages!

Or,

Name it after its creator, Dave’s Packages 🤓

That's a very interesting issue that I hadn't even considered until now. Of course, I am aware of both meanings but I didn't think it'd be an issue. I'd like to gather a bit more data before making any kind of judgement on it, so I just did a quick tweet about it. https://twitter.com/daveverwer/status/1182715681621581829

More suggestions on a new name are also welcome. I'm terrible at naming things, see "iOS Dev Weekly" for a prior example 😂

Registry? Maybe a bit too close to GitHub Package Registry 😉

Yea I think that'd be confusing for a different reason!
