[FR] Empty document should be automatically discarded on Android
Description
It would be better UX to automatically discard empty documents and conversations that remain unmodified by the user. Leaving an "Untitled" page is not helpful and creates unnecessary clutter in the user's list.
Impact
This would be useful for users who bring up a document to write something, but later change their mind. It prevents the creation of numerous, useless documents that must be manually deleted.

Hi @mon-jai, thanks for opening this issue. I think you bring up a good point about workspaces being filled with untitled documents, but I don't know if automatically discarding them is the right move here. I'm sure there are users who simply want to import information from the real world into the app as quickly as possible and that usually means not having time to think of a meaningful title.
@richardshiue Thanks for your reply.
... users who simply want to import information from the real world into the app as quickly as possible and that usually means not having time to think of a meaningful title.
By "empty," I meant not only without a title but also without any content. If a user exits the edit page without doing anything, there is nothing to be saved, so it is better to discard the entire page.
If a user wanted to import something later, they could create a new document for that, which is exactly the same as a previously created empty document.
This is also how Google Keep works.
