I'm not sure why there's so much resistance to this. They are personal projects.
Person A has a good idea and wants to learn or practice a new skill but can't code to save their life. So they mock everything up and now they have fancy be-hance concept.
Person B has been reading and doing tutorials on new techniques and is looking for somewhere to implement this new knowledge.
Person A meets Person B and kizmit! seems pretty natural and mutually beneficial to me.
If you find you want to turn this into a product later or even from the start just put together a contract defining percentages and go into it understanding it's a risk. Side note: if you are really serious about a new product it may be worth the cost to hire someone so you can retain full control over design,strategy etc...

- I know plenty of programmers who are horrible at design and recognize it.voiceof
- I also know programmers who create horrible user experiences (often handled by design). It's often seen as minutiae that they don't want to think through.voiceof
- Some people are better at certain things than others. Why not team up to put something out better than you could do on your own.voiceof
