Describe the solution you'd like

an option to retain the scale factor and scrolling position after a reload. I use Plash to display sites like dribbble, it would be most useful to display only the content without the site navigations.

Research direction
The issue requests persisting the scale factor and scrolling position of the website displayed as wallpaper. To implement this, you need to save the zoom level and scroll offset of the web view (likely WKWebView) before a reload or app restart, and restore them afterwards. Look into the app's existing settings persistence mechanism (e.g., UserDefaults or a custom plist) and how the web view is managed. The relevant files are likely in the main view controller or app delegate. Check the repository for any previous attempts or discussions in the comments. The maintainer may have specific preferences about where to store these values.
