I personally don't care if your project took 1 day or 1 year. I feel like by mentioning it the subtext is:

"Look what can be accomplished in one day, isn't that neat?"

and

"Be nice, it was just one day"

But really only the latter is useful (e.g. we won't be too harsh on missing pieces) and I think you can convey it by simply saying, "Early version", "Quick MVP", etc. Those say something more useful, too! They say if you plan on iterating further or not, or if this is meant as a MVP or just a portfolio piece or what.

The reason I added "one-day" is that I get tons of emails that recommend I focus on one thing.

The thing is, I am 100% focused on one thing. So a title like this when I hack together an idea I had in my downtime prevents the majority of those emails.

Thanks for your feedback though, I appreciate it.
