Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How to add runtime dependencies to flake so they can be found (gtkmm4, shared-mime-info)?
For me it just fails on dpp wrap file not containing a valid URL. And if I change it to https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/DPP, it fails on the repo not containing a meson.build file. And if I comment out the dependency it fails due to non-existent include/ directory. And if I comment that out, it succeeds just fine.

REST APIs using C++. (Is this even done much?)
Sure, the D++ Discord bot library is a good example of an implementation of REST in C++. I wouldn't say it's particularly modern as it doesn't make a lot of use of modern C++ features such as constexpr, string_view and so on, but it's not too bad.

Finally my project is on vcpkg!
Looking quickly you'll want to use https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/DPP/blob/master/library-vcpkg/CMakeLists.txt

C++ Show and Tell - August 2022
I've been working for many months (actually over a year now) on creating and maintaining the D++ Discord API Library (aka DPP) making it lightweight and scalable for my needs.

Update Regarding a C++ Discord Bot Library
Out of curiousity; what does this library offer that, say, a mature library like DPP (https://github.com/brainboxdotcc/DPP) doesn't offer?

Experience using crow as web server
I looked at oatpp and drogon, which are both great, but feel too high-level for my purposes. I tried drogon and got something working, but it feels like too much for my requirements, as in particular I'd like to slot in my choice of Json and message-body handling. C.f. the simple approach in Crow, which I easily understand and build on.

What isn't cpp used on web servers as much as other languages?
With the right libraries, C++ could be a good fit for applications that want to expose a fast web API to things that need lots of compute (simulators, for instance) or I/O (interactive editing of large datasets). Projects like Oat++ and Crow give me hope that we might see such an ecosystem develop.

REST APIs using C++. (Is this even done much?)
Lots of other options have been mentioned, but I'll throw Oat++ into the mix. I used it for this purpose and it was reasonably painless.

Server with oat++. Installation. CmakeLists.txt
cd "some/temp/path/for/repositories" git clone https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp.git cd oatpp mkdir build && cd build cmake .. (sudo) make install

How to use C++ as the backend for web dev?
Maybe use something like https://oatpp.io to create a REST API: C++ in the backend with this library to create a REST server, and the JavaScript/TypeScript frontend to ask for the information.

making a web server in c++?
I've used OATPP ( https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp ) which worked nicely for setting up simple rest interfaces. Supports things like swagger & websockets out of the box. It's also on Conan which is nice if you use cmake. I can't speak to it's performance but it has about a 1mb binary size footprint.
- Not mine but the pain of c++

learning c++: looking for structured project tutorial (web app/api? or other?)
As for your web problem, I have only used https://oatpp.io/ in the past but I'm sure there are more frameworks like that on the internet.
What are some alternatives?
