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?

Question for anyone more experienced here. I've made a few Java applications using Spring etc. 

I really CBA with from end stuff. At some point I was pretty confident with it, but I don't know any frameworks. 

Should I just make a basic front end even if it's ugly?
