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.

Ask HN: What Are You Working On?
I'm working on a new version of my CV (v1: https://cv.git-pull.com)
This time I'm writing it in React, Angular, and Vue (TypeScript across the board). It's in the very early stages, but keep it at https://github.com/tony/cv
While doing it, I've tried to find various ways to share the chart and data code across all 3 versions. The library I found to make it happen with data akita: https://datorama.github.io/akita/
For UX it's not so easy. The truth is, some of the best UI libraries are framework specific. This creates a lot of fragmentation in the frontend community IMO. For instance react has nivo, vicious, and react-vis, but at the end of the day it's svg and canvas underneath the hood. Still though, the efforts are amazing. It makes you wonder what it'd be like if there would be just one agreed upon way to write a widget. (There's web components, custom elements... but those won't even work with typescript out of the box)
In the past few years, that stuff that's been going on with webpack v5's persistent caching, TypeScript (and its tooling), and all 3 of these frameworks getting better is amazing.
Examples of charting software I've tried: https://cv-react-v2.git-pull.com/dev/branch/v2-billboard.js/, https://cv-react-v2.git-pull.com/dev/branch/v2-plotly/, https://cv-react-v2.git-pull.com/dev/branch/v2-carboncharts/
For the first time I've found a UI suite called Carbon: https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/, an IBM thing. I'm most impressed by their chart offering. Even though it's relatively new, they maintain bindings for react, vue and angular.

Experience using crow as web server
I looked at oatpp and drogon, which are both great, but feel too high-level for my purposes. I tried drogon and got something working, but it feels like too much for my requirements, as in particular I'd like to slot in my choice of Json and message-body handling. C.f. the simple approach in Crow, which I easily understand and build on.

What isn't cpp used on web servers as much as other languages?
With the right libraries, C++ could be a good fit for applications that want to expose a fast web API to things that need lots of compute (simulators, for instance) or I/O (interactive editing of large datasets). Projects like Oat++ and Crow give me hope that we might see such an ecosystem develop.

REST APIs using C++. (Is this even done much?)
Lots of other options have been mentioned, but I'll throw Oat++ into the mix. I used it for this purpose and it was reasonably painless.

How to use C++ as the backend for web dev?
Maybe use something like https://oatpp.io to create a REST API: C++ in the backend with this library to create a REST server, and the JavaScript/TypeScript frontend to ask for the information.

making a web server in c++?
I've used OATPP ( https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp ) which worked nicely for setting up simple rest interfaces. Supports things like swagger & websockets out of the box. It's also on Conan which is nice if you use cmake. I can't speak to it's performance but it has about a 1mb binary size footprint.
- Not mine but the pain of c++

learning c++: looking for structured project tutorial (web app/api? or other?)
As for your web problem, I have only used https://oatpp.io/ in the past but I'm sure there are more frameworks like that on the internet.
What are some alternatives?
