When deciding to spend money on goods, there should be some other factors than its price. Merchants actually have to consider how much things weigh

Man I do not like CSS

buy them presents / spend money on them / pay them a wage
Feed them? Will they feed themselves?
let them rest

Thoughts about the market screen

Should always be visible: good's name, owned, last bought for, price today
Hide?: hover over good's area to reveal buttons for buy & sell

Make a landscape art (for example, use my art tablet to trace the Tallinn skyline) for each location. Constantly display this art for each location. It will be adjacent to the UI we're already working with

Good names are left-adjusted, so they vertically align. However, because the goods' names have different length, the next word in the sentence does not align with the one directly below it.

Make a function that does try/except for user inputs

Add cities to each others' nodes (transportation list options) as dicts?

Currently we have "Days Passed: 0.", which increments +1 when the user travels. Day is not a data structure yet though.
This info can be "Day: 1", and we begin to record not only the user's Money value, but each Day will now be a data structure that at least has the profit for each Day. This is because it will be a fun exercise for me as a programmer to work with this data further at a later point in my imagination, like, maybe the game's UI will have a way to see goods' prices over time, or the user can at least see a line graph of their daily profit over time.
(Money) - (Money value at end of day as user clicks the Travel to Stockholm button) = Day's profit

Example case:
Day 2, user starts with 100eur. This is one data to store. User buys some things and finishes the day with 96eur. This another data to store. The difference will be another data to store: the daily profit

instead of Days Passed / Day number,
user starts game in a randomly generated month + day + year, e.g. between years 800 and 1400
Traveling still increments days by 1, same logic as before
I just need to figure out how to write dates in TypeScript

I want to implement the travel and transportation features of Merchantry by:
Each city will be given a list of other cities you can travel to from there.
For example: If the user's current city is Kutaisi, then they can travel directly to Zestafoni and Baghdati in this instance.

User is probably constantly comparing these two informations, so I will put them next to one another

Let's reduce the amount of clicking needed

Items have:
weight
starting value in the game (random or no?)
name
quantity, in inventory and in each city's market

use either JSON or .csv to load and save game states.
Then, the user can resume their progress from their last session
