Hello! Here are a few things I'd think about.
First, (and this is kinda unrelated to organization) but I'd recommend using elm-format and having type signatures. Some quick thoughts: You could break your styles into their own file, either using elm-css, or raw elm styles. You could break Model out into it's own file and take related model processing functions there. Side note, you can combine all your animation subscriptions into one message.
