Running around with StreetComplete, the app sometimes tells me to leave a note instead, which I do. Short time later, I receive an email that another person has resolved my note. That's nice, but wouldn't it be better to do it all on my own?

I think I need a more powerful Editor for that, and installed Vespucci. Now I'm scared to break things. What are the next steps, how to proceed?

I am a OSM notes "specialist". The notes will appear in your OSM profile, you can go there and find them one by one, but if you're using StreetComplete they'll be all together, you just need to activate the Notes layer in ID.

Other way to find notes to solve is by visiting the the Neis Pascal site with your specific country of interest, like https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-notes-country?c=Canada

You don't need a third party for that, you can subscribe to an rss feed of notes from an area straight from osm, just change the bounding box in this url: https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes/feed?bbox=18.9154,47.3695,19.2686,47.6182

This also documented in the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes#Monitoring_notes_in_a_selected_area

Sure, you don't need a third party. I simply find it more practical.
