We should add block-specific tips in the inserter panel that was added in #16813. These could be defined in the block registration. For example:

const blockSettings = {
    // ... other settings

    tips: [
        'Quickly indent the text in a new list item by starting it with a space.',
    ]
}

If defined there, we may also consider placing these elsewhere in the UI: perhaps in the Block Sidebar (#16594) or the Block Placeholder (#16315). But the inserter is a good first step. 👍

To start, we can pull from the list of block-specific tips listed in #16595 (comment). In cases where there are multiple tips per block, we'll randomly chose one to display each time the block is hovered.

We're working on getting specific ideas for this issue here..

I'm excited about the initiative. In looking at the UI mock-up, I'm concerned the text will be ignore-able. It's small, largely black and white, and I didn't catch the lightbulb at the bottom until I looked for it.

I'm sorry for the critique without an alternative. Do you have ideas for how to make it stand out and catch a new user's eye to pay attention to it?

This is a great idea @kjellr and something worth getting some action on. I'm looking forward to these!
