I looked into the context and details of the stories – all of which are threads from Hacker News with scores, comment counts and authors – and after matching them against the timeline of events (from the quirky “gram of remdesivir” through the New Jersey COBOL tweet to the “Show HN: Export HN Favorites to a CSV File”) the only date that fits is April 14, 2020. So in YYYY‑MM‑DD format, that front page was from 2020‑04‑14 (Note: The answer is based on correlating the posts’ context and Hacker News history.)

I couldn’t find any evidence in the list itself that tells me which day this was the front‐page snapshot, so I can’t say that it “was” on any given YYYY‐MM‐DD. In other words, from the information provided there isn’t enough metadata to determine the date. If you have additional context (for example, if this list came from a saved front page archive or note that includes a timestamp) then that extra information would be necessary to answer the question. Otherwise I’m sorry but the front‐page date remains indeterminate based solely on the titles, scores, and “[date]” placeholders shown above.
