Patenting this for her portfolio maybe, I can design and print a folding plastic hanger in 1 piece in less than 24 hours. A mold not far behind if i reached out to a shop... you raise an interesting point I think gets asked in nearly every YC interview. How do you build your moat or stop any big players from competing with a very similar product. I think she actually misidentified the problem she was trying to solve.…

Those wire hangers are murder in clothes. You want thick wooden hangers that will last you a lifetime.
Her example rack only contains the clothes that would be perfect for this. My rack and hangers accommodate all my needs with one simple cheap design.
Does anyone know her cancer situation? It almost bummed me out that she got sick as soon as she became popular.
