I'm doing the same thing for a few of my personal tools, and once you get over the instinctive revulsion it's a remarkably nice data flow. For example, I maintain state for an IRC D&D game using a bot that publishes to a github static page after every character-sheet edit. The big win is that I don't have to worry about hosting or availability - the bot only has to be up when the game is in session, the rest of the time, github provides for anyone that wants to look at their character sheet or anything. I do the same thing to maintain an el cheapo bash.org slash bucket [1] for a discord community I'm part of; again, a discord bot is significantly easier to keep alive than a website.
