I've tried looking for launchers that have this feature, but have yet to see it mentioned anywhere.

I despise how the focus of development for at least the past decade has been form over function. I like information-dense displays, and Google has gotten everybody to waste so much screen real estate on looks (never mind other crappy UI decisions). My home screen widget layout is the one big thing keeping me on Nova.

Lawnchair has this and is the closest to Nova that I've found.

Lawnchair Settings > Homescreen > Widget settings > Allow overlap

Here it is in action:

    Where is the Lawnchair repository that is currently active? I tried the obvious one and got a message that it is built for older versions of Android. There must be another variant that is still being developed.
