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?

There are a lot of tools to monitor changes in osm, To check notes regularly you can use several tools, they are listed in the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes#Monitoring_notes_in_a_selected_area

For checking all changes on the map there are other tools: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_viewer#OSM_changeset_viewer

I personally use osmcha.org regularly and an rss feeds of notes, in my area.
