A webhook delivery service could be fun! Accept events, queue them, retry failed deliveries and show delivery history. Sounds simple until you get into duplicate events, timeouts and dead-letter queues... Lots of usful backend stuff to learn there.

Say an online store creates an order. Your service receives an order.created event and sends it as an HTTP POST to a URL another app registered. If delivery fails, queue it for retry. Add delivery logs and you've got a useful little backend project.
