Summary

Right now, we cannot generate a suggestion if the user hasn't given their availability. This was a surprising behavior to users at Demo Day 2, and users didn't understand why no suggestions were available at first. We should design the availability + suggestion feature in such a way that it doesn't create a hidden dependency like this.

Requirements

Either add availability querying to the onboarding flow so that users always gives availability, add a hint in the suggestion UI indicating the suggestion is unavailable until the user gives their availability, make it so that suggestions can still be generated even without explicit availability, or some combination of the above.

Notes

N/A
