I am working on a Polymer website and am having some issues. I previously had my main logic in index.html, and I just moved all of the logic from it into a web component I created called app.html. The website worked fine when everything was in index.html, but when I put it all into the web component and created the element in index.html instead, the page is now blank. There are no script errors or anything.
index.html:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="">

<meta charset="utf-8">

<title>My App</title>

I have been struggling with this for a week and absolutely cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. I am able to reference other elements instead of joyce-app
Finally figured this out! It looks like my styling from my app-theme.html was only applying to index.html, so it wasn't getting applied to my custom element.
Apparently the correct way to do this is to also have your theme in a .css file and import it into each custom element that you want to use that theme.
