Looking for good (low level?) Elliptic Curve library
Much of what you'll find highly visibly will be high-level libraries, but look at their dependencies. For example, from the ed25519 library you may find ed25519-dalek, and from there you could find curve25519-dalek which deals in point encodings and that like. (I don't know these particular libraries; they might help or just serve as an example of a viable exploration path).

Identity element in ECC
What lib are you using? I would probably suggest to use the Ristretto Group abstraction for safety. The curve25519-dalek crate has that.

How mathematically intense can theoretical cryptography get?
Grabbing an abstraction like the Ristretto Group with implementations available curve25519-dalek, can get you very far. You can build stuff like ECIES, Diffie-Hellman, Schnorr Signatures, Aggregated Signatures, etc, without requiring entering the details of EC math.

Small web-UI for the masterpasswordapp deterministic password generator
I implemented a simple web-ui for the masterpasswordapp (now known as spectre) algorithm.
- TIL that in 1999, a group of hackers discovered that they could enter any Hotmail account by simply entering “eh” as a password. It was fixed by Microsoft within two hours.
