* proposals?  
  * current document is in installed mode...  
    * installed: yes  
  * navigator.standalone might bring web compat issues for Chrome  
  * Sam \- I would probably prefer a media query  
    * installed: yes  
      * so this should NOT be true if you are installed but in a browser tab  
    * but what about open in browser tab?  
    * so \- we can get away with this by having installed: yes, display: browser  
      * yeah that's nice  
* agree?  
  * only standardize `installed` media query, `installed: yes` or `no`  
* getinstalledrelatedapps  
  * not today  
* Kagami \- the installed media query means \- people could consider it as "no back button" while Firefox is going to show one in browser chrome  
  * Sam  
    * the install media query is to know if you're in a app or browser tab  
      * e.g. the install button showing or not (rather than back button)  
    * the display mode media query is to adjust UI  
* AGREEMENT EVERYONE GETS A STICKER
