(Whiteboard: [pwa-front-end]) 

There is a lot of consideration here around how/when/if we prompt and what the criteria should be. Google has their guidelines published here: https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/checklist
Andreas mentioned to me that we probably want badging and not prompting, as https://dev.opera.com/blog/pwa-badge-pop/

Relevant note: as was announced at Google IO, Chrome will soon no longer have an engagement requirement to show an install prompt. There will still be a number of technical requirements (https, manifest, etc.), but it will be possible to trigger the install prompt via a user gesture (e.g. a button on a web page) without having to wait for a certain level of user engagement.
