Is there any way to overlap items in LazyList?
In RecyclerView we could set negative offsets in ItemDecoration#getItemOffsets
I tried Modifier#offset, but seems it affects only the item on which the modifier was applied, so items below do not shift

This seems hacky, but you could apply increasing offsets at an index. Not sure if you’d end up with a bunch of empty space in the column though.

I think spacedBy modifier allows for negative space. Please check

Robert's hack works, but yeah, there is some empty space left at the bottom of the column.
Tried verticalArrangement = spacedBy, but all items now overlap. What I need is to shift some specific items.
I think I'll use offset modifier for now, even though result isn't ideal

You could file a feature request for this. Tracker link is in channel topic

Yes please. A spaceBy modifier that receives an index and the item and returns the space would be very helfull @Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]

If you file a feature request, I would suggest describing what you’re actually trying to achieve, rather than specifically saying a modifier (although you could propose a modifier as a possible/example solution). I’m not sure a modifier is actually the right thing here.
