Specification
None

Summary
The Web Install API allows a web site to install a web app (same or cross 
domain). This functionality allows the creation of web based catalogues that 
can install PWAs directly from the web and into multiple platforms.
Blink component
Blink<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink>

Motivation
The web is currently unable to install web apps. The capability must be baked 
into the platform to allow for websites to distribute content without relying 
on proprietary protocols or invoking platform specific stores. Web Install can 
help democratize application distribution and allow developers to broaden the 
reach of their content.
