Documentation for making your own tool

[lastmjs]

I would like to make my own tool, and I think I generally understand what to do from looking at the source code a bit. Could you give me a general overview? Documentation for this would be excellent.

@lastmjs: Looks like you've got some experience under your belt now. Care to submit a PR for this? Perhaps something in Markdown format that we can offer in addition to the README.md file? Thanks!

Honestly I've done the bare minimum to get my tools to work, and I'm still a little confused with the old system. I can take a look at the new way of doing things with Polymer 3, I'll probably have some questions to ask

@lastmjs: If you're looking to tackle this, then you may care to look at the new branch where I'm developing a version of wysiwyg-e based on the new lit-element (based on lit-html) base class discussed at this year's Google IO.

The new version is also utilizing the new Material Web Components.

Once lit-element / lit-html achieve a 1.0 release and the remaining Material Web Components are released, I'll be looking to release this branch as wysiwyg-e 4.0. As such, we should probably target this branch for the development of documentation for making your own tools. I've developed several of the tools under the new system. Feel free to take a look at those. The code seems fairly straightforward.
