Could the homepage persist state rather than resetting each time?

Description

As illustrated by this GIF, if you interact with the plugin and then refresh the page it goes back to the default Getting Started layout:

reset

I can't figure out how to get it so refreshing the page keeps the new layout.

The new layout appears to be persisted - a tiddler called $:/StoryList is created and updated.

But... when the page loads from scratch, that information is forgotten.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the plugin's initialization code to see how the default layout is loaded and determine why the saved tiddler ($:/StoryList) is not applied on refresh.
