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

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?

this is a cpp_question, but anyway, I think this is exactly what you're looking for. Credits go to Jason Turner.

C++ left arrow operator (2016)
Continuation passing monads form the basis of a perfectly valid and usable software architecture and programming pattern.
In the case of ostream and operator<<, this pattern reduces the number of intermediate objects that would otherwise be constructed.
If you object to iostream on religious or stylistic grounds, there's always fmt which is more like Go or Python string interpolation.[0]

Learn Modern C++
> This is from C++23, right?
std::println is, yes.
> I wonder how available this is within compilers
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support says clang, gcc, and msvc all support it, though I don't know how recent those versions are off the top of my head.
In my understanding, with this specific feature, if you want a polyfill for older compilers, or to use some more cutting-edge features that haven't been standardized yet, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt is available to you.

For processing strings, streams in C++ can be slow
{fmt} has internal buffering but it's not yet exposed to users. There is a feature request for it: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2354. FILE buffering is not too bad but it can be easily optimized: https://www.zverovich.net/2020/08/04/optimal-file-buffer-siz....

adoption of fmt based logging
Automatic use of operator<< when that exists was present in fmt until version 9.0.0. In version 9 you could use FMT_DEPRECATED_OSTREAM to opt in the old behaviour, but this too was removed in version 10.0.0. Now there is no way to automatically use operator<<.

Codebases to read
Additionally, if you like low level stuff, check out libfmt (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) - not a big project, not difficult to understand. Or something like simdjson (https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson).
