I know it can be hard but if you are interested just have a look in elm-slack - I'm sure you'll find people helping you get over the first blockers.

Just to give you some outlook: the little snippet you gave can be written as

currentQuestion : Maybe Question -> Question
currentQuestion = 
    Maybe.withDefault
        { question = ""
        , answers = []
        , correctAnswer = ""
        }

and you can find many of these little things that makes your life easier here package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm-...

You'll probably not believe me but it's really a lot easier than react/redux and quite safer too

Awesome, thanks! I think it depends on the developer -- for me I've been a React/Redux dev for a couple years professionally so it is much easier!
