Examples for playing around with them so much

ascii_print

The [for now] inaptly named ascii_print example program takes a knot diagram and, optionally, moves as input(s) and renders the ASCII version of the resulting diagram.

knot-so-good

An ugly, simple mini browser-based app for more quickly working with knot diagrams. See it's README: ./examples/knot-so-good/README.md
