Hi everyone,
I am new to Pickaxe and have been enjoying the flexibility it offers for managing different projects & I m getting more involved in multiple projects simultaneously; I mm finding it challenging to keep everything organized and efficient.
I would love to hear from the community about your best practices for managing multiple Pickaxe projects.
How do you organize your files and projects to keep things simple and clutter free?
What tools or methods do you use within or alongside Pickaxe to keep track of tasks and deadlines?
how do you manage contributions from multiple people without losing track of changes or progress?
Also i have read this resorse/artical; https://community.pickaxeproject.com/t/do-i-have-to-use-a-different-secret-key-for-each-pickaxeprompt-engineer but have not found any solution still need your advice. if you have any advice, tips, tools & strategies you have found useful would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Howdy, lys and fellow digital prospectors! Feeling a bit like I’ve been panning badly for gold in a kiddie pool. After a week or so of swinging my virtual pickaxe, I’ve got blisters to show for it, and not much else.
The dream? An audiobook that doesn’t just read to you, but chats you up like a long-lost author friend. Throw in some voice-cloning wizardry, and boom! Literary magic, right?
Wrong. My two nuggets are more fool’s gold than Fort Knox. Check 'em out:
- My sad attempt at a Multilingual Interactive Audiobook
- A “studio” that’s more like a cardboard box with ‘STUDIO’ written on it
Meanwhile, Bundly Studio and TobyAI are out there living their best lives. I’m starting to think I need a seeing-eye parrot for this treasure hunt.
Quick question for the PA team: Any plans to add something like Cursor to the mix, or…? Or are we waiting for someone else to use that wheel?
To my fellow miners: How do you keep chipping away when your pickaxe feels more like a toothpick? I’m all ears for advice, or even just a “You got this, champ!” (Full disclosure: ChatGPT is my ghostwriter today. My own words, and most my common sense are on vacation.)
Here’s hoping next week brings less pyrite and more… well, anything better than what I’ve got now.
Eternally grateful (yet slightly lost),

A Collective Wish List? (Feel free to add even more!)
- A less labyrinthine community forum
- A “Pickaxe for Dummies” guide to reach Bundly Studio/Toby AI levels
- A curated “Best of PA” methods collection
- Better file organization (PDFs, URLs, CSVs, JPGs, audio, ePubs, transcripts, pickaxes, studios, landing pages)
- Integration tools for product management and CRM
- Project difficulty ratings (from “My First Pickaxe” to “AI Sorcery”)
- Flexibility to use our preferred AI services ( me- I’m team Perplexity)
- A “PA Playground” for experimenting with different AI models and tools
- Regular community challenges or hackathons to inspire creativity
- A mentorship program pairing newbies with PA veterans
- An AI-powered project idea generator for those “blank canvas” moments
- A PA-specific meme generator for when words fail us (Gif)
- A “Time Machine” feature to see how our projects might evolve over time
- An integrated “Procrastination Buster” that gently reminds us to stop scrolling and start creating
- And what if we teamed up PA team w guest users on podcasts like here? https://youtu.be/kDcM_xwmP3Q?si=z5jtxVZrgU8mm789
- And what about the VO + Cursor AI + Replit + Claude AI combo mentioned in this vid for Apps? How is PA shortcutting this chain of:
1 Using V0 for front-end design
2 Cursor for code generation
3 Replit for deployment +
Guest Riley Brown’s user’s approach:
- Visualize the app
- Describe it to AI
- Troubleshoot errors
- Repeat until it works
“You will your way to a working app. It’s guaranteed.” - Riley.
Still looking for my “aha moment” , but trying really hard.
And you?
What could make this all more fun/rewarding/downright goldrushy to explore together?
