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.

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
Take a look at Wt Webtoolkit. It can do exactly this (and a lot more) https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt
-
Nui C++ User Interface Library
How does this compare with WebToolkit?
- Has anyone embedded a web-UI into a C++ project?
-
Cheerp 3.0: The most advanced C++ compiler for the Web now permissively licensed
How is this much different than wt [1] or compiling qt to emscripten? Sincere question.
- Launch HN: Pynecone (YC W23) – Web Apps in Pure Python
- Uses of Rust and C++ that only one has?
-
Who is using C++ for web development?
https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt (has support for HTTP/S)
Not sure who uses but there's an interesting toolkit for it: https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt
-
Ask HN: What's the best source code you've read?
Linux Kernel source is very good.
Wt[0] source code is also good.
-
Ask HN: Who is using C++ as the main language for new project?
Apparently they're using Wt, "webtoolkit".
> Wt is a web GUI library in modern C++. Quickly develop highly interactive web UIs with widgets, without having to write a single line of JavaScript.

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
It's a bit of a hit and miss as of today. CLI, back-end and natively compiled libraries (think dll/so/dylib or even .lib/.a - you can statically link NAOT binaries into other "unmanaged" code) work best, GUI - requires more work.
Avalonia[0] and MAUI[1] have known working templates with it, but YMMV.

What's New in Final RC for .NET 8, .NET MAUI, Asp.net Core and EF8
While this is the quite endorsed by the community: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/discussions/339
I think the fundamental issue is that desktop Linux is way too fragmented. Not only just GTK2/3 and Qt but you have GNOME, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon and then you have X11, Xorg, Wayland...
To be honest, all those craps are why desktop Linux never took off. I'm very safe to say MAUI for Linux will eventually renders components off its own using framebuffer and hardware acceleration APIs such as OpenGL or Vulkan just because of the market fragmentations...
If desktop Linux truly wants to get the attention, it will need to unify. Fixing dependency hell using Flatpak is the right direction.
There is an existing old fork of MAUI for Linux that uses GTK: https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-linux

I'm getting tired of these new waves of posts against Maui
But, if you really want to add some value, luckily, Maui is an open source platform, the code is right there, dig into it, and learn how it works under the hood (it will also help you to learn a lot, trust me), you found something to be fixed and know how to do it? then do fix it and open a PR with the solution, you found a workaround to some issues? Then open a PR with the solution or share it with others.
Looking at the oft-mentioned 2.3K issues on the MAUI repo, I think there's a pretty even split a given issue will be one of these: valid, duplicate, user error, feature request. Seriously, just scroll through the first couple of pages. Maybe they need to control that better, but it seems far from representative of "MAUI bugs".
- Is it possible to build a "desktop" type app with Blazor WebAssembly/PWA?

MauiKit 3.0 released
The official issue is already 3 years old... https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/34
