Description
Would it be possible to add a simple splash screen/loading screen to PyApp?
I'm using PyApp for a relatively large project, so it has to download ~3gb. On my Mac (not sure about Windows and Linux), the only visual indicator the project is downloading is a bouncing icon in the task bar. Since this is often a sign that a program has entered an error state, it's easy for a user to mess up the installation by quitting out of the program while it's downloading. The restore command helps with this, but it would still be nice to have some form of GUI element to show that the program is downloading.

Research direction
Start by reviewing PyApp's startup, download, and restore flow, then determine how a cross-platform splash or loading UI could fit it. The request is complete when users on macOS, Windows, and Linux receive a clear visual indication while the application downloads its payload; the issue does not name files or tests to begin with.
