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 you want to write a GUI framework (2021)
For a recent project I chose Yue (https://libyue.com/), a cross-platform native widget GUI toolkit with C++, JavaScript/Node.js, and Lua. I've only used the Lua interface and macOS backend, but it has worked quite well, despite the very steep learning curve. This was also my first desktop GUI app, so I had to learn many implicit concepts that weren't obvious from the otherwise extensive documentation.
Yue was also the only option that 1) supported macOS, 2) supported Lua, 3) was sufficiently comprehensive to build a non-toy GUI app, 4) and that I could integrate into my (static) build. I couldn't even get the wxWidgets Lua interfaces to compile, and Qt and Fltk had similar stories, whereas reverse-engineering the baroque Yue build (based on Google's internal build systems) was relatively simple. Yue had some sharp edges, but I was able to work around them whilst patiently waiting for patches and fixes upstream.
Immediate mode interfaces were a non-starter for me. For a non-trivial set of otherwise typical controls and window management you have to implement too much yourself, plus being non-native they not only felt wrong (which admittedly is somewhat subjective; the younger crowd seems to think non-native, immediate mode interfaces look more state-of-the-art), but lacked other interfaces for proper desktop integration, like theme change signaling (i.e. notification that a user switch between light and dark modes in the macOS system settings panel).
All-in-all I would highly recommend Yue.

Gtk4 Tutorial
I settled for Yue: https://github.com/yue/yue It's been around for several years. The deciding factor for me was that is has well maintained Lua bindings as part of the core project alongside JavaScript (Node.js) and C++.
I didn't have much luck with libui (crashes, missing features, etc), and various immediate mode alternatives just require too many dependencies and other work that made integration too painful. Plus, Lua bindings for all these were always stale. In fact, Lua binding quality is pretty poor all around including for GTK, Qt, WxWidgets, and FLTK.

Portal Windows for Electron
There are many more JavaScript developers than C++ developers.
Personally I like Yue, a cross-platform native toolkit library: https://github.com/yue/yue But much of project was already using Lua, so Node.js and Electron were never viable solutions.

What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
A native GUI library https://github.com/yue/yue.
It was a disaster when I announced it on Hacker News, and I got numerous harassments from strangers.
But anyway 2 years since then and I'm still working on it.

How do you chess maniacs visualize the board so clearly?
It comes with experience. There is a website called listudy.org that has a section called “Blind Tactics” that might help with visualization.

If you are trying to practice a certain opening, I would highly recommend listudy.org just to build that spaced repetition in your head.

How do you memorize certain openings
I find https://listudy.org very useful for drilling lines. I don't see it mentioned often, but it allows you to import any lichess study (selfmade or other) into it and it'll pick a random line that's up to you to correctly play out until the end. Works very well if you do it enough
-
I know slow time controls are best.. but what openings should I play to improve the fastest.
I use private Lichess Studies to store/build my repertoire. Start "choosing" your preferred responses to various opening moves and store them there. Start 1 move deep at a time and branch out slowly. At low level of play it's actually better to go just a few moves deep and have some canned responses to common bad moves from your opponents. You can import your lichess study into listudy.org which turns your saved opening prep into spaced repetition exercises to practice.
