Editing is one click away (the "layers" toolbar icon), and in 5.3 you will be able to open the layers window without having to open any vector maps.

Indeed, this is in a beta version and this bug has been already fixed.

You cant theoretically "build" a custom database in PrettyMap... but this feature is not anywhere in the GUI. So, as of now, you have to send us a list of attribute names and types (String/Float/Integer) and we will prepare an editable pmap for you.
