Zhiliao

Zhiliao is an Xposed Android app module designed to modify the behavior and interface of the Zhihu mobile application. It functions as a runtime modification tool that uses hook injection to alter application elements and logic.

The project provides system-level ad blocking to remove promotional content from feeds, search results, comments, and startup screens. It includes a rule-based content filtering engine that uses keywords and regular expressions to hide specific post types, such as videos and articles, or social features.

The module offers interface customization and navigation enhancements, including the implementation of swipe gestures for browsing answers, custom startup page redirection, and the removal of various UI components via reflection. It also includes utilities for suppressing notification badges and unlocking third-party login providers.

This module is compatible with Xposed, Xpatch, and LSPatch runtime environments.
