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.

Coroutines in C
I've found myself at this webpage multiple times while trying to minimize the complexity of APIs in my C projects.
My conclusion for now is that C coroutines are something to be left to the implementer. For example: Mongoose (https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose) uses event callbacks to deal with asynchronousness. It is much more pleasant to wrap a library like this in whatever thread/task primitives your system has rather than try to integrate the mythical cross-platform c couroutine.

BCHS stack: BSD, C, httpd, SQLite
I remember using mongoose 15 years back. Today i would have considered mongoose(10k+ stars) which is also a mature c/c++ web server[1] if not the licence.
- New scalable, fault-tolerant, and efficient open-source MQTT broker
- Eu não tinha nada melhor pra fazer, aí comecei a escrever um servidor HTTP em C do zero usando winsock.

Experience using crow as web server
Alternatives at the low to medium level of abstraction include civetweb and mongoose, which have a common ancestor. Both of these appear to be C rather than C++, but seem to be production quality and well-documented. Another C library is cpp-httplib, which is probably too low-level for me.

libonion or libhttpserver for embedding a webserver in a small application?
Since this is only going to be used internally would Mongoose be worth considering?

What C source code or library do you use for a local server?
If you are looking for something simple there is mongoose from cesanta, https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose

Ask HN: Learn C in 2023?
The language is only part of it. In my opinion, you would learn even more about C by consuming well-known libraries written in C and trying to do something useful with it and complementing that with some books, etc rather than just learning the syntax and semantics of C.
There are tons of useful/fun things you could do with C. Write some desktop apps with GTK, a web server with Mongoose (https://mongoose.ws), etc.
