Description

I think the release posts template stands a high chance of becoming monotonous in wording. I would suggest we randomize certain words in new posts to add a bit of dynamism in wording.

For example, in https://github.com/epiverse-trace/epiverse-trace.github.io/blob/4421f498ad4af6ca5510b67df27450f014f50bbf/_templates/release.qmd#L9, we could sample synonyms for "excited" from a package like [syn](https://github.com/njtierney/syn). For example

```r
replicate(3, paste("We are", sample(as.vector(unlist((syn::syns("excited")))), 1), "to announce the release of a new"))
#> [1] "We are hopped up to announce the release of a new"
#> [2] "We are breathless to announce the release of a new"
#> [3] "We are tickled to announce the release of a new"
```
Some of these are cringe but I'm sure we can find a way around this. This issue is just to sow a seed.
