Improving the UI/UX, the meta issue proposes a new way of adding Paragraphs such that the user click a button always present below each paragraph and a modal form is displayed with the option to select the paragraphs type to be added.
New add mode that opens up a modal form of the paragraph types for the user to be able to add.

poornananda commentedHi, I'm new here and have been using paragraphs for a recent project.
While having the "Add" button between the paragraphs indeed improves usability, I would recommend a dropdown/dropup or popover that opens connected to the button instead of a modal. With the modal the user probably needs to go to where the modal opens with the cursor, while with the components I mentioned the options are very close to the Add button.

miro_dietiker@poornananda You can see this proposal clearly in the original screenshot. We decided for a overlay, because it is already available.
We failed to research a library or some simple code that could help us to create the popover.
We can convert the overlay ito a popover anytime. Let's do things step by step!
And since you have a clear idea about it, please start do research on your own and contribute to get this done.
I already created the issue for you. #2881606: Convert add overlay to a popover
We are looking forward to your inputs in detail.
