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.

I am finding it incredibly hard to write software in CPP. Where can I get a book for software development in CPP ?
Was checking that as well, can't find it indeed. I would recommend looking into the following: https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/gui_starter_template

Collecting the best C++ practices
gui_starter_template. This is a C++ Best Practices GitHub template for getting up and running with C++ quickly.

Not adopting newer C++ standards
Next to language versions, spend time setting up your build system (CMake?) with all bells and whistles. You want unit tests, clang-tidy, include-what-you-use, sanitizers, fuzzing, clang-format, package managers. Just take a look at https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/gui_starter_template

Good repos for beginners to browse that follow best modern C++ practices (including testing, static analysis etc...)
https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/gui_starter_template from Jason Turner (aka lefticus) is quite a popular one (2.1k stars in Github)

The pool of talented C++ developers is running dry
I actually just tried to play around with what seems to be a "modern c++" boilerplate project.
It uses CMake, conan for packaging, clang-tidy and cpp-check, and has templates for fuzz and unit testing[1].
I found it because qtcreator and kdevelop were weirdly clunky and created partly broken qt projects and I figured I wanted to add a package manager and qt to the mix.
The template looks really fancy, but it's so incredibly slow, to the point of being unusable.
It's a ramble yes. But the point is modern C++ tools seem to have added some niceties to the language, but they also brought more of the main C++ issues, i.e. slow compile times and nasty boilerplate in the build process. Yes, I realize CMake isn't modern and there are a bunch of new build tools.

How would you create/maintain a new c++ project using modern tools/practices?
Jason Turner (known from cppcast) has following project: https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/cpp_starter_project

Recommendations for modern C++ project structures
this is a cpp_question, but anyway, I think this is exactly what you're looking for. Credits go to Jason Turner.

Guru Meditation Error if more than 2 Pins/ 2 controller are used with filehandling
I used the examples from here https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/wiki/Multiple-Controller-Examples
- FastLED's newest feature - HD mode for the APA102/SK9822/Dotstar LEDS
- High Bit Depth Gamma Correction Algorithm for APA102/Dotstar LEDs
- Is there an alternative to using two WS2811 ics to control RGBW channels [first image], and are there any adjustments needed for the current regulator circuit [second image] ?
- Frames getting stuck with ESP32 and 16 by 16 LED Matrix
- changing brightness of the individual led's?
- Arduino Due SPI to control LED strip(s)

Multiple RGB outputs
Sweet. Then pretty much any arduino or other microcontroller would take care of what you need. The strips only take one output pin plus power and ground so just about everything will work for driving them. They act like a long shift register so the single pin is all that's needed to load the full strip with whatever patterns you want regardless of the length. You just have to tell it how many LEDs there are in total is all. Check out the FastLED library. You can learn more about it there and/or install the library in the IDE by pressing "ctrl shift I" for windows or "command shift I" for mac and search for it in the upper search area and install it right there. It comes with working examples too so all you would have to do is install the library, load one of the new example sketches that came with it, and probably edit the example to change the NUM_LEDS count to match what you're working with.
