Is there a website or a repository in which we can see when CSS features were added?
Sometimes I'll be looking up a feature on CanIUse or developer.mozilla.org to check its compatibility, since I've been seeing some pretty useful features pop in and out, but some of them are still experimental and all, and some seemingly older ones still have some issues, while others are deprecated. So my question is, is there a place where one can find what year, version, etc. a property came out? And, second question, where can I keep myself updated with current and upcoming ones?

You can just hover over the version in which the feature was introduced in MDN and it will tell you the year, or you can look up when that particular browser version was released.
Oh my god. That is such a simple answer and I feel silly for not having noticed that sooner!! Well, that's nice then!!
It's tricky, since you have to hover exactly over the version number, not the checkmark or the icon so it's easy to miss
Ohhhh
I see then !
Actually you can just click on it, never noticed that 😆
As for staying up to date... just read news blogs and stuff like that, there's really no "right way"
Is there any you recommend?
there's also caniuse.com
(not to keep up to date, but to see when features were added even with flags or partial support)
I don't know, depends what you like sometimes you learn these things from unexpected sources. Frontend Horse, CSS Tricks, Ghacks, etc.
YT channels like WebDevSimplified put out a lot of content on new features as well
Yeahp, I use that one too but it doesn't have the dates, which is why I was confused
MDN takes that information from caniuse so it should be the same, unless caniuse provides some additional context.
Also yes, most of my sources for new features were Kevin and WebDev, but waiting to see new uploads might not be the best method to keep up to date whenever
Well, it definitely provides a little more I'd say
caniuse also provides release dates
Yes its definitely more complete, Im just used to the simplicity from MDN
I just follow a bunch of channels and randomly run into interesting news so it's just a matter of luck for me.
Although I rather not use the latest and greatest features most of the time, as convenient as they may be, precisely to try and bring a better compatibility across the board.
Man, I had already seen that menu before too! Either way, thank you both for helping with this
Exactly why I use caniuse and mdn !!
