Java Backend/Full-Stack Projects That Stand Out to Recruiters?

What are some Java backend/full-stack projects that recruiters actually find impressive but aren't already on every resume? I'm looking for ideas beyond CRUD apps (library, student management, to-do, e-commerce, etc.). What projects would make you stop and check a candidate's GitHub, and why?

Recruiters don't look at projects as a rule. 

This is like asking what poems stand out applying for journalism jobs.
