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.

so people are making these
I also looked into Snap (http://snapframework.com/) and Yesod (https://www.yesodweb.com/) for Haskell. I didn't really get anywhere with those though because I had build issues with dependencies and was in a bit of a hurry so I put them off for later.

Just started exploring Haskell as an experienced C++ dev. Looking for tips.
As with most languages, there are several good web frameworks. See for instance snap

Minimal web framework (ie. "flask for haskell")
Snap (http://snapframework.com/) and Scotty (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/scotty) are both projects that can fit this description.

haskell todo list app (beginner)
I would suggest checking out scotty for the http server - it uses warp by default, and is very beginner-friendly.

HLS issues an error for Setup.hs and Spec.hs (using hspec-discover)
Here's the current commit I'm working with: https://github.com/scotty-web/scotty/commit/3ed8586c046b46dc42740e8ac2e7fe712e84191d

School of Haskell: Basics
If you're not a fan of the ruby-on-rails / swiss army knife approach that IHP takes, check out Scotty. Add Lucid for Html rendering, and Selda for Postgres. (There are other options for any of these tools if you prefer)
- Scotty (simple web routing) https://hackage.haskell.org/package/scotty
- Programming language comparison by reimplementing the same transit data app

Suggestions for "dashboard" graphics libraries?
I've found htmx and hyperscript talking to scotty to be an easy way to get something like this going while retaining the joys of Haskell on the backend and avoiding the pains of Haskell on the frontend.

Web development in Haskell
Finally, to add my opinion in the context of some other posts: I'd suggest Scotty (and probably other libraries I'm less familiar with) before Servant in particular, as Servant is a lot to absorb if you're also trying to build fluency in Haskell at the same time. Similarly, I'd advocate for Elmish (disclaimer, it's written by (very talented programmers other than myself at) my company) over Halogen, at least based on the last time I tried Halogen--I found it pretty complex as well. Don't get me wrong, I think Servant and Halogen are both great, just...complex.

Building a REST API with Haskell
This is an example of REST API built with Scotty a web framework of Haskell and PostgreSQL a relational database. It's a simple API to manage products.

Options for a frontend of demo for a toy app
Not that I'm much of an expert, but if you're talking about a very barebones static single-page-app, then you could very easily get by just using blaze-html to put your elements on the page, and then scotty is a basic web framework you could use to serve up your app.

Minimal web framework (ie. "flask for haskell")
For small web projects I always used scotty in combination with some html library like blaze for example.
Snap (http://snapframework.com/) and Scotty (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/scotty) are both projects that can fit this description.
