Today I am happy to announce the release of MicroMVC at github. MicroMVC is released under the GPL v3 so it is free for anyone to download and use.

MicroMVC is the project that I am most proud of out of all my web apps. It powers this sites video system and other sites where I needed something lightweight and blazing fast.

Along with the new home it has been updated, cleaned up, and outfitted with a couple example controllers that show you how to fetch twitter updates, create posts in a SQLite database, call hooks/plugins, and load views. There is even a video to help you get started.

While this system isn’t for everyone - it is perfect for people that don’t want extra junk in their systems and people who don’t want to deal with a mess of procedural php code everywhere. MicroMVC only requires 5 small files and a controller to work it’s magic. Taking a measly 200kb (or less if caching is on) to run - a lot less than CodeIgniter and Zend which take +2MB and +4MB respectively.

I would love feedback from anyone that would like to try this system out. I hope that it can serve others as much as it has been a help to me. Please feel free to post questions in our forums.
