     I've always grokked "Notepad" as bare-bones software that just   
     has the rock-bottom essentials to qualify as a text editor.   
      
     As the article spells out later, you only need to sign up   
     if you wanna tap into those fancy AI add-ons. That said, the   
     in-app promos for that stuff would still get under my skin.
