I've seen sites that automatically write to the URL as you scroll would
this be a way to do this transparenlty without UI at all?

Here are two common libraries that I've seen in use for this purpose

https://github.com/browserstate/history.js

The only issue (i remember from over a year ago) was that some of these solutions interfere with the browser back behavior, which I'd want to avoid.
