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?

Not posting to prove you wrong but simply because related.
> 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. Wt handles all request handling and page rendering for you, so you can focus on functionality.

Serving Static Files and Single Page Applications on Oat++ (OatPP)
Oat++(OatPP) is a lightweight C++ Web framework. Out of the box, it provides REST API with built-in JSON serialization/deserialization features, which could be interfaced with your DTOs.

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.

Server with oat++. Installation. CmakeLists.txt

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.
