About Nollan.se

Nollan.se is a Swedish daily dashboard: the time, the weather where you are, the name day, the week number, sunrise and sunset, and how many days are left until payday. One page, no account, no clutter.

Who makes it

✦

Emil Fernström, a private individual in Sweden. Nollan.se is not a company and not a content farm. It is one person's project, and I answer the email myself.

Everything you read on the site, including the guides in the knowledge base, is written for Nollan.se rather than gathered from elsewhere. Where a figure comes from someone else's measurements, the source is named on this page and on the page that uses it.

Why it exists

The everyday questions are small and constant. What week is it? Whose name day is it? Has the sun set yet? When does the money arrive? Each one has an answer somewhere on the internet, usually buried under a cookie banner, three ad blocks and a newsletter popup.

Nollan collects those answers on a single screen that loads in well under a second and works offline once you have opened it. It started as a page for my own use, on my own phone, and grew because other people wanted the same thing.

Where the numbers come from

Nollan does not measure anything itself. Every figure is fetched from a named source, and this is the complete list:

Shown on the siteSourceWhat it provides
Weather forecasts MET Norway (Locationforecast 2.0) Temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud cover for every city on the site.
Sunrise and sunset MET Norway (Sunrise 3.0) Sun times and golden hour, calculated for the exact coordinates of your city.
Name days sholiday.faboul.se The Swedish name day list, plus flag days and public holidays.
Electricity prices elprisetjustnu.se Hourly spot prices for the Swedish zones SE1 to SE4.
Wildfire risk SMHI open data (FWI index) The forest fire risk index shown on the weather page.
Aurora forecasts NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center Planetary Kp-index and the OVATION aurora model.
Lightning strikes FMI open data (CC BY 4.0) Registered strikes across the Nordics, from the Nordic sensor network.
Pollen levels Open-Meteo Air Quality (CAMS) Daily pollen counts for the six most common Swedish allergens.
Satellite orbits Celestrak (NORAD two-line elements) Orbital data for the ISS and other satellites, propagated in your browser.
City search Nominatim / OpenStreetMap Turns a place name into the coordinates the forecast needs.

What Nollan works out on its own

Four things on the site are calculated rather than fetched, and each one is documented so you can check the reasoning:

Privacy, plainly

Nollan runs no analytics. There is no Google Analytics, no visitor tracking, no profile of you anywhere. Your city, your theme, your saved settings and your pet in Sällskap live in your own browser's local storage and are never sent to the server. The one counter that exists is a single integer that increases when the app is opened from a home screen.

Full details are in the privacy policy, and the rules for purchases are in the terms.

How it is paid for

The dashboard, the knowledge base and the tool pages are free. Two things cost money: Nollan Premium, which unlocks detailed weather, electricity price graphs, the aurora forecast and an ad-free site, and Adopt a day, where you put your own greeting on a calendar date. Both are optional, and nothing about the free site is degraded to sell them.

Corrections

If a figure looks wrong, it may well be. Forecast data arrives from third parties and the calculations are mine, so both can fail. Tell me what you saw and on which page and I will fix it or explain it, usually the same week.
