Congratulations, you are now working on a "boot-strapped startup". But with Step 3, you can spend your time learning about full-stack web development. You'll have to learn some back-end stuff, improve your front-end stuff, design, art, graphics, etc.
Once your MVP is up and running, then you'll have to move into sales and marketing and learn that part of the business. Come up with some kind of monetization strategy and implement it as part of the product.
While doing all this, split your time between building this thing up, and applying for your next gig. Bonus, when your MVP is up, put it on your resume so future employers can go see it and eliminate that gap in employment right off your resume.
You now have a portfolio, business experience, sales & marketing experience, executive experience, product development, design, QA, art, improved technical skills and no gap on your resume since you've "been working" the entire time.
There are many employers who would kill to have employees with that kind of experience, and it shows you can turn a minus into an opportunity.
Bonus, if you can't find a job, keep plugging away at it and maybe your startup will turn into something.
Step 1: Register a business
Step 2: Get a domain and some cheap hosting
Step 3: Start building an MVP
