Reach out to your personal network to try to get some connections to get your resume to the top of the stack.
Reach out to former co-workers and see if their current companies have any openings.
It's tough to stand out in a stack of 200 applicants without a connection.
Is your front-end stack or experience too narrow? What are you using for frontend. Are there more front-end languages you have experience with that you could broaden your search/resume?
Have you done any backend? Is now a good time to learn Rails or Laravel?
Can you seek out any alternative job boards that are more specific for your niche? Linked and Indeed are the most saturated with applicants.
Freelance and Contract work might be an option to stay active and show on your resume. Show Consulting as your current gig from when you left your last job.
Lastly you could reach out to your old company if it's a place you'd like to go back to, not sure how things left off. A lot can change in a year.
