I think the quickest way is with JOSM + the Building Tools plugin. If the buildings are all rectangles or “L” shaped then the Mapathoner plugin is really quick too.
Building tools is quick enough that if I’m fixing an area that’s been mapped wonky it’s often a lot quicker to re-trace the skewed buildings in a fresh layer and use the Conflate plugin to merge them back into the main layer than it is to fix the geometry directly (and that include individual checks).

This seems like it’d be the opposite of an @openstreetmap thing.
There are a variety of geocoders that use OpenStreetMap data.

Availability of address data varies by area.
With the project starting in London the mailing lists have a lot of inertia behind them for British mappers. If you join I’d recommend a dedicated email address.
There’s a full listing on the wiki, but talk-gb is probably the biggest.

They also have a local chapter that organises quarterly projects, but I don’t think they host much in the way of discussion.
I’ve never used it, but there’s a location sharing plugin for OsmAnd that shares location via Telegram:
@Tippon Imagery often needs to be re-aligned to match up with local traces. The wiki has some guidance on the general “Using Aerial imagery” pages and on handling off axis imagery on the page for roof modelling.

If you can get the parcels from the municipality then you can probably give them a false OSM tag that renders and convert to show on OsmAnd via OsmAndMapCreator (then sideload them). It might be best to convert the addresses to OSM format too so they display.
Alternately there are two apps for putting QGIS projects on a mobile phone: QField and Merging/Input. They are meant for data collection but can be used to just display things as well.
@Anonymouse I’d probably go customers or private there.
If you’re adding from an external source make sure you’ve checked the licence is OK, not everything that’s “open data” is as permissive as OSM requires.

@Tvkan
Not PNG/JPEG, but as you mention Inkscape then maybe a SVG extract would work for you?
This site does several SVG styles:

If you would prefer this offline there’s a “community style” for OsmAnd that goes for a very similar look here:

I think Trail Router is the simplest OSM based “give me a route” tool.
@Mannivu @scorpionix the Live updates are hourly not once a month.
I’m really looking forward to Mapcomplete Studio.

In terms of keeping track of which areas you have done and which you haven’t I think SimpleTaskManager is really good for single person projects. Divide and Map Now looks like it should be good for more collaborative stuff but I haven’t tried it in a while.
