Activity Tweaks

On my site, we use the activity wall almost exclusively. I understand that's not the intended purpose of Vanilla. It's just our preference. Has anyone implemented activity tweaks?
For example: Is it possible to only show the last 5 comments for an activity post and collapse the rest? Or, bump an activity post to the top when commented on? I'd love to enhance the activity section.

the 5 comment thing you could probably do in js.
the bump to the top might be trickier but you could probably do that as well.
I suspect this would be of such esoteric interest, that few developers would be interested in pursuing unless it was sponsored, but you never know.
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
Heya! I don't think I have seen you around before. How is it going?
The collapsing could be done by overriding the activity helper_functions file. I attached one that does basic collapsing. Extract it into
/themes/{your_theme}/views/activity/.Search first

It's going great now that you've arrived. Thank you!
This is a great beginning to enhancing this section of Vanilla.
This question actually uncovered a bug I never would have found. The activity/item view is messed up and gives me a fatal error.
I was looking for a way to click on the "x comments hidden" block and retrieve the comments. Turns out the activity/item view is non functional as an html page. It works fine as a json request, so it just doesn't have a properly functioning view file.
