These are neat, but solve a different problem than the hangers from the submission.

#92Neat middleground between folded clothes heavily creased but stored compactly in drawers and entirely unfolded crease-free hanging clothes. I presume there'll be some creasing, but it's definitely saving space vs. conventional hangers.
I wonder, if creasing is still an issue, if it'll be clearly asymmetrical especially on the back... Since the fold in the hanger isn't centered.

Cue the low-quality foreign made knock off branded as “Amazon’s Choice” in 3… 2…
And then the copies of the Chinese copies from Amazon itself… It’s theft all the way down
Like meatballs and tortillas
Any and all good ideas
Whether tasty or not
Instead of being forgot
Will eventually be sold in IKEAsRe: I spent 3 years working on a coat hanger [video]

But I'm sure she's patented it and amazon wouldn't want to get caught for intellectual property theft so will be diligent about policing sellers. They wouldn't want a bad reputation. And the customs office will destroy any imported product in violation of her patents.

It looks good but, ehm, they're not trying to solve the same problem. Giertz's hanger looks entirely practical to me for what it's trying to do.

#96I forgot who she was, so: > Giertz has previously branded herself as "the queen of shitty robots" on her YouTube channel, where she employs deadpan humor to demonstrate mechanical robots of her own creation to automate everyday tasks; despite working from a purely mechanical standpoint, they often fall short of practical usefulness, for comic effect.[9] Giertz's creations have included an alarm clock that slaps the u…
Ah, I remember that. And I couldn't help but notice she had over 2M subscribers so clearly she's got a lot of fans already.

> The entire US of A is free R&D for Chinese manufacturers. All of China/Asia/Africa are free manufacturing for the West… Of course, the view that they don’t innovate and only knockoff the West is also hilariously false.
>All of China/Asia/Africa are free manufacturing for the West… Not free. But extremely cheap. >Of course, the view that they don’t innovate and only knockoff the West is also hilariously false. Of course not. I never made this claim. But in China, the incentive to innovate is much lower due to lack of enforcement of intellectual property rights. So of course in terms of cost/benefit ratio every individual in China is…
> Of course not. I never made this claim.
I’m aware you left yourself a bit of wriggle room versus the absolute claim. Doesn’t change how it sounds.
> When China steals ideas
You know how they say the execution matters, not just the idea?
> and manufacturing from the US
US companies bring the plan, but the Chinese factories have unparalleled skills in actually manufacturing the product into reality.
Not sure how you are claiming that they both can and can’t deliver the required quality? Almost everything, high and low quality, can be manufactured in China. Spend the full $$$ value and you’ll get unbeatable quality. But pay peanuts, get cheap things.
> marketing at quality control. China can rip off a product
To continue my point above, they take that product and manufacture it with the best cost-value ratio for the mass consumer. You can always get various levels of quality in knockoffs.
> sell the products at a huge margin above the manufacturing cost
This is actually connected to my previous post. The West is able to do this solely due to economic and currency disparities, which are further perpetuated by the West. Hence, you get:
> Not free. But extremely cheap.
The West is completely dependent on the non-West for labor. It’s such a massive point of failure that the Western lifestyle would fall apart otherwise.

#99Love the iteration story, but like, what about pants? And thick winter coats? And stuff I don't want a weird potential fold line slightly to the left/right of centre? 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.
Yeah, I normally put a number of items through the coat hanger and the hinge, here, would prevent that.
I feel like it should come with some clips on the bottom for attaching items like trousers and other odd-shaped garments.

#100Pull out retractable closet rod.

Mount under shelf. Use high quality hanger that doesn't damage or crease. No extra folding action. Put nice article of clothing in front and looks very nice.
Turning storage 90 degrees for shallow storage solves more problems than folding clothes in half. Having seen tons of these in show rooms, I dare say it's a long solved problem. Also there's rods with angled notches to turn hangers 45 degrees.
