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++.

is it ok to put library source code folder in your project folder to build them together?
Example from one of my projects: https://github.com/jgaa/nsblast/blob/main/cmake/3rdparty.cmake

REST APIs using C++. (Is this even done much?)
Yahat-cpp: Simple HTTP/API server library for use in C++ micro-services. This was just some code that kept evolving inside various projects, so I distilled it to a separate project to make it simpler to maintain. For an example of a real server using it, you cal look at nsblast, a new DNS server I'm implementing.

Has anyone embedded a web-UI into a C++ project?
I hope this question is not too off-topic here. I'm a bit lost. I'm working on a C++ project (a DNS server). It exposes a REST API via an embedded, very simple HTTP server. I have added swagger to document the API, and to test it from a browser. Now, I want to provide a simple web-UI to the application. I don't want this to become a major task, and ideally I want either a UI that lives as some simple js/css/http files in the browser, (so it can be served as a static website on the server-side like swagger) - or some simple to use back-end library in C++ that can drive the web-UI. In short, I hope to find a way to do this where I can have a POC ready in <= a week, and where I don't have to spend lot's of time learning some js framework.

Ask HN: Who is using C++ as the main language for new project?
I'm using C++ for most of my projects, because I like it. It's also what I do for a living. The latest new open source project I initiated is a dns server, nsblast, using rocksdb for storage. https://github.com/jgaa/nsblast
The (side) project I have put most effort into in the last year is k8deployer, a helm like utility that can deploy simple and complex applications in kubernetes with minimal effort. https://github.com/jgaa/k8deployer
In these projects I don't use other languages. C++ is the only language where I easily get into "flow".
What are some alternatives?
