# Laura – A content OS for developers and indie hackers

AI made writing faster.

Idea to draft to publish. What used to take days now takes hours.

But I kept losing track of everything.

What was published? What was half-written? What was just an idea sitting in my notes?

I tried spreadsheets. Too flat.I tried a private WordPress site. Too heavy.I almost built something from scratch. Too much.

Notion stuck.

So I cleaned it up, abstracted it, and made it reusable.

Then I needed a name.

I thought of Laura Coronado. A colleague and one of the sharpest marketers I know. When I was figuring out content, she already had the map. What to write, when to publish, which topics actually matter.

She had the clarity I was always chasing.

So I called this system Laura. Not as a tribute. More like a reminder. Every time I open it, I ask: what would Laura do here?

Laura is a free Notion template. A content OS built for developers and indie hackers who are learning marketing.

It has a content pipeline, an ideas bank, a swipe file, a weekly review ritual, and space to define your content pillars.

If you use Claude or any AI tool, connect the Notion MCP connector. Then you can just talk to it. No manual edits.

Duplicate it. Adjust it. Make it yours.

And if you are a pro marketer who sees something missing, you know where to find me.
