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.

C++ backend with React.js frontend
A coworker at my last job used pistache.io as a web back-end framework for C++ to good effect. I have no idea if it's the best, or even good, but I know that he made a project with it that I was calling into (I was building the front-end) and it worked.

I'm not sure what to study now ):
There are some C++ API frameworks like Pistache or Restbed (full list here) to get started. If I should be 100% honest, I don't think C++ is worth for APIs as we have easier solutions with the same performance nowadays (like Go and Rust), but I think we should try everything, right?

cpprestsdk in maintenance mode
If you need an embedded C++ HTTP server then there are plenty of libraries/frameworks (in random order): Crow, RESTinio, Boost.Beast, cpp-httplib, http_backend, Pistache, RestBed, served, proxygen, Simple-Web-Server, drogon, oat++.

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?
What are some alternatives?
Crow - Crow is very fast and easy to use C++ micro web framework (inspired by Python Flask)
µWebSockets - Simple, secure & standards compliant web server for the most demanding of applications
Oat++ - 🌱Light and powerful C++ web framework for highly scalable and resource-efficient web application. It's zero-dependency and easy-portable.
DiscordCoreAPI - A bot library for Discord, written in C++, and featuring explicit multithreading through the usage of custom, asynchronous C++ CoRoutines.
Restbed - Corvusoft's Restbed framework brings asynchronous RESTful functionality to C++14 applications.
sleepy-discord - C++ library for the Discord chat client. Please use Rust for new bots
drogon - Drogon: A C++14/17 based HTTP web application framework running on Linux/macOS/Unix/Windows [Moved to: https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon]
concord - A Discord API wrapper library made in C
C++ REST SDK - The C++ REST SDK is a Microsoft project for cloud-based client-server communication in native code using a modern asynchronous C++ API design. This project aims to help C++ developers connect to and interact with services.
libcurl - A command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP, WS and WSS. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features
Civetweb - Embedded C/C++ web server
