Sometimes users use a software exactly the way they want and the software company follows up with a feature making this more comfortable. Instead of forcing people to follow their ieads.
A good example is the ancestor of all MacOS editors (I think it even was available for System 8 and 9), Bbedit.
A lot of users use the text editor as sort of a notepad. Including me. And since MacOS has this feature to enable apps to keep unsaved stuff in something like a suspend-to-disk thing, they are permanent.
In Bbedit you then end up with a list of "untitled document"s. Which looks like this.

My list of untitled documents goes up to 176 by the way 😅
So the Bbedit developers introduced a tiny feature called "Save as Note". These files are stored inside the app preferences folder and the name and title they get is the first line of the document. What a brilliant and simple idea!
