Community section

Propose this setup

Share the setup for possible inclusion in OpticalSetup's Community section. GitHub will ask you to sign in and confirm the public proposal.

Submitting creates a draft pull request after automated format, ray-tracing, and SVG checks. A maintainer still decides whether to publish it to the Community section. The form asks whether you license the setup and its description under CC BY 4.0, so others may reuse them with credit to you. That box is optional: leave it unticked and the setup can still be published, with no reuse terms and a note to ask you first. The app itself stays GPL v3 or later.
