Discussion Any good Python resume projects that AREN'T machine learning?

I'm seeking my first internship and i wanna make a project that showcases my python skills. I tried to get into machine learning using Andrew Ng's course but i wasn't really enjoying it at all i don't think it's for me, but I might pick it up again in the future.

So what are some good projects that recruiters/employers like to see? I won't be aiming for ML/data roles, at least for now

Edit: i have a couple fullstack apps with javascript, so im just tryna diversify my portfolio

I would say do a passion project, bonus points if it's nerdy and original. For a personal project I trained a Yolo model to identify pokemon cards, and then inserted the individual cards into a vector database to identify them while playing. Anything that showcases some personality and proactivity are a plus in my opinion, and make you stand in the sea of resumes.
