This is a very stripped down version of a platform I'm currently creating with a friend. I love the idea, obviously. And I like the implementation. Simple (no registration too!) and understandable.
And unlike many others here I think something like this is very much missing and could, in fact, bring a lot of interesting projects to life. Yes, like everyone else mentioned, there are a ton of problems with finding a co-founder like this. But not every project needs to be a company and not every project needs to make money. Especially on the web.
Which is why the platform I'm building tries to focus on non-profit projects. Or rather, projects you want to build/help build because you want the project to exist, rather than to make money off of it.
An example project that I wanted to make some time ago: I want(ed) to create a platform with all hip-hop artists, where anyone could write an opinionated, subjective, hopefully positive introduction to an artist they admire. The idea behind it is that there's plenty of artists that get bad reviews/critics but have a huge fanbase - so the fans could write what they like about the artist so much, rather than just seeing the "industry-respected" reviews and critics. Basically, get introduced to a new artist through someone who loves him already, rather than from someone who mainly critics him.
Now I'm very confident in my web development (and hip-hop) knowledge. But I have no eye for design whatsoever. I couldn't make a beautiful interface to save my life. And the project is not start-up material since there's no business model around it and it's hard to get someone you know interested who can design and is interested in hip hop (or at least my project idea). In my circle that left me with 0 people. But I think a platform like poster's, if popular enough, could bring projects like these to life.
