a question around lazy layouts. current we cannot nest lazy views inside lazy views in the same direction. the reason why youd want to do such an approach is imagine having a list of content that is different and not uniform. One of those items is a grid of products that could also be “infinite” / paged and when it ends, more content is below it. We want to encapsulate that composable content in a single entity that understands its business logic. If we render the grid as one large composable, that will have performance issues when scrolling it into composition…

So I built a “flattener” approach to this, by cutting up items, spacing them out and allowing them to exist on a lazy vertical grid / column as a single recyclable performant lazy surface.

Now ,there isnt great ways to integrate a staggered grid in the middle of this lazy vertical grid while recycling each individual item within a staggered grid without rendering it as an entire composable at once. Are there any open source libraries for compose that utilize custom lazy layout that support nesting different lazy content? or a ticket in google issue tracker to support mixing lazy layouts?

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/241545426 i think this is the one you're looking for. it mentions scrollables and nesting lazy layouts

thanks ive added my use cases there and some proposed APIs to cover this from the outside. also was wondering if there exists any third party libraries with similiar support through custom lazy layouts

Not that i know of
