Hey, glad you got it! A little feedback:
1. Try `oneOf` instead of `maybe`. `maybe` will fail for any failing part
of the contained decoder (so if "notes" is not there or suddenly an int.)
If you plan to change that at all in the future, you'll end up wondering
why it didn't work.
2. Check out https://github.com/NoRedInk/elm-decode-pipeline. Even though
your decoder is really small now, `optional` from that package could help
you. (and IMO decoders written in the pipeline style are just *better*.)
