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.

Ask HN: What Are You Working On?
FWIW I finished AoC 2020 in Go -- but I had 5 years' worth of helper functions to prop me up: https://github.com/lukechampine/advent

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?
raku-Physics-Measure - do calculations on objects with value, units and error
drogon - Drogon: A C++14/17 based HTTP web application framework running on Linux/macOS/Unix/Windows [Moved to: https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon]
gifski - GIF encoder based on libimagequant (pngquant). Squeezes maximum possible quality from the awful GIF format.
Crow - Crow is very fast and easy to use C++ micro web framework (inspired by Python Flask)
advent-of-code - My Advent of Code submissions. For 2021 and before, these are the original code I used, without any modifications after-the-fact. As such, they are probably not as efficient or short as they should be, because I want a working solution faster, not a better solution. For 2022 and after, these are the solutions uploaded to my YouTube channel.
Pistache - A high-performance REST toolkit written in C++
Boost.Asio - Asio C++ Library
Crow - A Fast and Easy to use microframework for the web.
Wt - Wt, C++ Web Toolkit
drogon - Drogon: A C++14/17/20 based HTTP web application framework running on Linux/macOS/Unix/Windows
