### AI overview

Rage clicks can reveal where users believe an interface should respond but receive no feedback. The text recommends monitoring rapid clicks and heatmaps to find dead zones, making controls' affordances clear, and showing immediate visual responses--such as progress indicators or optimistic UI--while slow work completes. It also proposes reducing distractions or surfacing help and cancel options when frustration is detected. These approaches are presented as ways to lower uncertainty and identify friction; the text gives no measured results. It cautions against deliberately frustrating users with dark patterns, urging transparent, easy cancellation instead.
