If you've used Massive, you know how awesome it is. But you've probably thought "This still seems like a lot more code than I really want to have to write". I was thinking the same thing.
Goals
Eliminate the need to create a new class for each Massive "Table"
Add awesome functionality from ActiveRecord (ex: FindBy... and Reload)
Add registration for event hooks: BeforeSave, BeforeDelete
Add registration for validation hooks
Do all of this in as few lines of code as possible
And most importantly, make Massive that much easier and fun to use!
