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 Fileâ€) 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 frontâ€page snapshot, so I can’t say that it “was†on any given YYYYâ€MMâ€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 frontâ€page date remains indeterminate based solely on the titles, scores, and “[date]†placeholders shown above.
