You need extra steps in Discourse to install it as a PWA currently:

> [@Implement Badging API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/implement-badging-api/111631/2):
>
> Here’s how to test this in Windows on Chrome (latest version 73, just released today): go to the three dots menu at the upper right in Chrome select More Tools → Create Shortcut tick the “Open as window” checkbox select Create Like so I’ll try it out .. it works!

We will soon make it available where you were looking for it, but that will take some time as we want to cleanup the service worker path first.
