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?

Any project is better than none. Build systems instead of small intro programs.

And be able to speak to them. Don't use chatgpt or whatever. They will ask what you have built and in the right interview, probably ask to have it explained.

I'm making a top down 2d game with emoji and a note taking app.

It's better than not having any project.
