You should append window.location.search here: https://gist.github.com/spicydonuts/d1ca3d78b9448004455562af1f04f81e#file-scroll-manager-js-L52.

Otherwise it'll remove query params when scrolling.

Good point! (also this is more for reference than anything else, I recommend using a maintained library instead)
