I think it is not uncommon to collect dates and float values from users.

update ...
    NewValue v -> 
        { model | floatvalue = String.toFloat v |> Result.withDefault 0.0 }

floatInput : Float -> Html Msg 
floatInput v =
    input 
        [ onInput NewValue 
        , value (toString v) 
        ] []

The problem with the above is that the moment you type the . toFloat fails 
and you get a 0 in your model. One way around it could be to delay 
processing of the value by using onBlur (below), but I was wondering how 
others handled this.

floatInput_ : Float -> Html Msg 
floatInput_ v =
    input 
        [ onBlur NewValue 
        , value (toString v) 
        ] []
