from this video I didn't really understand the added value of exporting your tokens as variables/styles. Doesn't this show that it's better to just keep everything in Tokens Studio?

Thats a personal choice depending on the needs of you, your project and your team. If you want other people to start to use variables or styles that are connected to your tokens, then it makes a lot of sense. If not, then it might not be worth the extra effort to do so. - Sam

Nice video. But that pointer got me :)

We love the Tokens Studio plugin, but it needs about 10 minutes to start. Each refresh (or editing) is really painful. We have a multi-brand theme. What are we doing wrong? It is also confusing to have an option to create variables, but you are showing us that there is no additional value in that (just more work, actually). Are you suggesting that having ONE theme and multiple sets is better? Or multiple themes with fewer sets?

For the performance issues, joining our slack community so we can properly troubleshoot is the best way we can support you. Some folks want to use variables that are managed by their tokens, so we are showing how to accomplish that. If your team is already using tokens, its not necessary you use variables, indeed, it might be extra work. (: If you want to use mode switching in variables, you need to have multiple sets created. - Sam

I cannot find the Variables Playground file mentioned in this video. Can you provide a link?

We are doing some updates to variables which are being released soon so you can expect updated community files and docs for the big release. - Sam

It seems if you don't have the paid version of figma, the themes eg light and dark mode created with the plugins wouldn't show right

The plugin's feature or not dependent on you Figma plan. The only feature that is however dependent on your Figma plan is the amount of variable modes you can create.

Is there a video where you create the tokens from scratch to better understand this

Hey! You can have a look at Eric's quickstart video wherein he showcases a detailed token setup: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aamoz9ynebK9fLg.html&pp=ygURdG9rZW5zIHF1aWNrc3RhcnQ%3D. - Keegan

Hey! You need to be a Pro user to gain access to the create variables feature. Once a pro user, you also need to setup themes to be able to create variables. You can go through our docs page which briefly describes this process: docs.tokens.studio/variables/creating-variables . - Keegan

Is it just me or this is actually just sooo confusing?
