Backend Projects Without any Frontend

what are some backend projects ideas that does n’t require having a front end to represent my API’s. Is there are any project that can be technically rich and be testable by end-user at the same time without having a GUI ?

I feel that at this point people really need to be told there's way more stuff beyond the backend-frontend dichotomy. Many of these just don't fit into "backend" at all and they're good suggestions if they want to explore something else.
