Basically, I’m making a lot of progress drawing in buildings and upgrading sidewalks to modern standards in my city, but sometimes I lose track of what I have and haven’t done yet. As simple as highlighting the areas I’ve finished in a colour, is there a way I could track this? I’m willing to use any kind of tool for the job.

That’d be super helpful! I’m doing something similar at the moment as well
The closest thing I’ve found so far is https://geojson.io
You could manually draw polygons in a umap to do this. Or you could use an Overpass Turbo query to show all the ways you edited recently to have a visual of where you have and haven’t worked. I can give you some queries to start with if you like.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what any of those are. Sound complicated.
I once had to place a bunch of different stuff on a video game map. To keep track of where I’d been, I loaded a picture of the game map into Photoshop and made a new layer (partially transparent) so I could color in areas once I was finished with them.
Photoshop itself is obviously massively overkill for this, but it did work pretty well. Transparency and either the brush or lasso-and-fill is all you really need.
Yeah, GIMP was my backup plan. It would just be hard to read the street names.
