Intre Timp

"Between Time" something always happens and people want to know what! This is how I would summarize, in a way that I consider valid, the information thirst of modern man. A need that has created around it an industry with all the ingredients; Finally ... it created a post-truth era.

The need remains, the behavior changes; stop looking for what has already found you.

If information conditions mental health, faith even more so; and hence the connection between the two.

The "Between Time" application works as a news aggregator, with topics mainly from the Orthodox world and, in general, from the Christian world. I felt it as a necessity in the middle of a climate imbued with confusion, with adherence to ill-will and, I say it without malice, even ignorance. The user can choose from the palette of sites included in the "Watch" menu. The "News" section delivers news according to active sources, with a predetermined recurrence in the software architecture. Many of the news are not written in Romanian but the user can choose to translate them by simply pressing a button and can save their favorite articles. The user can listen to the included radios.

The logo is an 11th-century Byzantine processional cross in the custody of the Art Museum of Cleveland, USA, on a raw green background. The title of the application (Between Time), beyond its sonority appropriate to the project, contains a theological component that brings us to the perspective of assuming the everyday as an antechamber of eternity. What happens "Between Time" implies a stake in eternity. The Christian lives between Time and Eternity, under a sky that opens and gives him eternal autonomy. That is why the stated purpose subscribes to the sentence: News for Information and Meaning.

I address doubled thanks of gratitude and appreciation to His Eminence Archbishop and Metropolitan Andrei for blessing this project. At the same time, I fully thank Deifco, which financially supported this idea. I applaud the immediate contribution of Mr. Ilovan Cristian. I also appreciate the essential contribution of Next Soft Data and, sincerely impressed by the holiness with which he dedicated himself to this project, I congratulate Mr. Nagy Claudiu, the one who, through his professionalism, materialized the superlative.

I could not omit the source sites that form the basis of this application, nor the valuable advice of Mr. Gabriel Solomon, an iconic painter.

Last but not least, I thank my wife and children because thanks to them the pores of my soul are always open and so every day is the sum of the moments that bring beauty.

"Between Time" and without further ado, we offer "News for Information and Meaning".
