 NostRSS: does it exist yet?

I'd like to follow long form notes in my RSS reader, but I won't get to it during regular catchup of my feed.

The basic workflow would be to go to a website (self hosted or otherwise), paste in an npub and then get a RSS/Atom feed URL back.

The feed should only contain long form content (though the RSS feel URL could have params in it to select the kinds of events you want it to give you).

The urn:uuid of the feed should be deterministically derived from the npub, and the urn:uuid for each entry from the nevent id, so that I can switch over to another RSS feed provider without losing my (un)read marks. 
 I wanna look at nostr recipes in my SMS app 🤷‍♂️😉

I do see value in bridging the legacy standard with nostr, but it might be better for everyone if a long form nostr client integrated RSS feeds as well. 
 I've used the same RSS reader for a decade or so. And Google Reader before that. #jesuislegacy 
 I loved google reader. Best centralized social network that ever was.  
 By the way once you have an RSS feed, you can your SMS recipe notifications: https://ifttt.com/sms 
 I found this service that does the opposite, convert RSS to nostr account.

But never heard of nostr to RSS, would br neat! 
 I'm looking for the same solution. I want to read Nostr notes like a RSS feed.

I think reactions and other engagement metrics recreate the same addictive problems of legacy social media.

It's dumb but I'd like a friction point to selectively engage.
