Change base layout to mobile

Mobile first design is widely practiced. Webflow encourages it, yet the tool itself does not support mobile first methodology. I propose being able to change the base layout to mobile instead of having to design the desktop site first, then cascade overrides up and down the breakpoints. No front-end framework does this so why would webflow do it? Tailwind, Bootstrap, Foundation, etc. all use mobile as the base for all styles and overrides happen at each larger breakpoint. It's frustrating to design mobile first in Figma, then come to webflow and have to think in a completely different way to put together the site.
